Good day all, Got out for a walk today in the beautiful warm weather along the rail trail S of Gelert (S of the former Dutch Line). It was surprisingly productive. A few highlights of the day:
Black-backed Woodpecker - 1 female heard and observed in large wetland just S of 24km marker. Bohemian Waxwing - flock of about 10 birds also near above location. A second flock of 30+ birds was feeding on the crab apple trees along the edge of Head Lake in Haliburton in the morning. Pine Grosbeak - 1 observed just N of 25 km marker in tamarack swamp Common Redpoll - 5 at above location White-winged Crossbill - 1 calling and observed overhead, again near the 25 km mark Otter - 1 pair observed in large beaver pond S of 26 km marker. Not avian but a nice bonus!
