Just got back from a 2 day trip to Algonquin Park and we saw most of what we wanted to see. Finch numbers are quite good right now, we had ~30 Red Crossbills at Spruce Bog and ~12 White-winged Crossbills on Opeongo Road. Evening Grosbeaks as said in other emails are plenty at the Vistor Center feeders and are also at feeders in Mew Lake Campground. Pine Grosbeaks we saw in singles on Opeongo Road by the closed gate. Also on Opeongo Road at the gate were Common Redpolls and Pine Siskins, with the female Purple Finch and Goldfinches at the Vistor Center feeders we had 8 finch species. Other notables were Spruce grouse in Spruce Bog, Boreal Chickadee north of the gate on Opeongo Road by a metal bridge, Bald Eagle soaring south on Opeongo Road, Brown Creeper at the Spruce bog by the suet feeder and Gray jays all along Opeongo Road and in the Spruce Bog. Also in the Spruce bog by the suet feeder were 3 different Pine Martens. Have photos from the trip at http://www.flickr.com/photos/andrew-don/sets/72157629412290579/
