Hello Birders, It's been an active week for winter birds on the northern portion of the Bruce Peninsula. Here are some highlights:
Northern Hawk Owl - One was found on Monday (Nov 5) by Don Duoma near the town of Ferndale. Attempts to refind the bird have been unsuccessul. Rose-breasted Grosbeak - A very late female visited a bird feeder in Tobermory today. Red Crossbill - A few individuals are have been found in the area; one was at a feeder in Tobermory today. White-winged Crossbill - There are quite a few around; flocks are regular around Tobermory and Bruce Peninsula National Park. Evening Grosbeak - Small flocks are being seen/heard around Tobermory and Bruce Peninsula National Park; some are visiting feeders. Pine Grosbeak - There are small numbers around Tobermory and Bruce Peninsula National Park. Common Redpoll - Moderate numbers are being seen in the area. Bohemian Waxwing - Several flocks have been seen this week around Bruce Peninsula National Park and Tobermory. Sorry for not including specific locations, most of these species are on the move and can turn up anywhere in the area. Thanks to other birders for sharing their sighthings (Don Duoma, John Haselmayer, Don and Gwend Wilkes). Happy Birding!
