Posting for Todd Pepper from Leamington.
I should mention that Ontbirds posting guidelines do not encourage
messages about seasonally expected birds including those that are
regular at feeding stations. Post about birds you are surprised to see
but check out the posting guidelines sometime at
http://www.ofo.ca/information/ontbirdsguide.php
You can get a better understanding of the status of regional resident
birds like Red-bellied Woodpecker by visiting the Breeding Bird Atlas
maps at http://www.birdsontario.org/atlas/maps.jsp?lang=en

Hello Ontario Birders. Tomorrow, December 1st, starts the beginning of
the Ontario winter birding season. I have volunteered to coordinate this
year's Ontario winter bird list again, and Blake Maybank will be hosting
the results again on his website. The link is as follows:

During the 2009/2010 winter birding season of December 1st to February
28th Ontario birders tallied a total of 191 species, down from 197
species in the winter of 2008/2009. Let's try and get to 200 species
this year.
Just post your sightings to Ontbirds as usual, and I will send an update
message to Ontbirds once a month so you can check the status of the list
to date and then advise me personally if we are missing any species that
you might have seen but did not post to Ontbirds.
So, let's all have fun and get out there and enjoy the winter birding
season.
