GR. WHITE-FR. GOOSE
The Common Redpoll reported a few days ago on e-Bird was present again
today, in the same general area and once again in a flock of Goldfinches.
Following the main road south toward the lighthouse, this flock was very
close to the turn-off for Peninsula B (look for the big rocks by the edge of

Algonquin Park began to experience “pre-spring” by the end of the week as
temperatures went up and snow depth went down. American Crows, the first
migrants, were spotted on February 19 and 21. Researchers found the first
Canada Jay nest under construction on February 19. And a Northern Saw-whet
Three Canada Geese and one Ross's Goose spent a few minutes at the Stratford
Stormwater Pond (mostly ice) this afternoon before flying off again. I posted

There are six Greater White-fronted Geese on Stoney Creek mtn in a flooded
field across from the Vinemount sign on Ridge Rd. between 10th Rd. E and 8th
Rd. E. No doubt these are the same 6 found by Mike MacLeod at a nearby
location yesterday. The number of waterfowl has greatly increased
I have just located a first winter drake Barrows among Common Goldeneye. A
week ago I observed this same age/sex class about 5 km W of my current
location. Perhaps the same bird. It is roosting and is one of the closest
goldeneyes. Great views!
Location: I am parked in the Johnstown United Church
Unfortunately, no luck with the bluebird. The home owner has not seen it since

cedar) so may still be around.
Home owner has my number and will call if refound.

I and a few others were at the YHBL location in Smithville for over an hour
this morning with no success. The homeowners graciously allowed us to park at
the end of their driveway and along the property line to watch the feeders
which are numerous, well-stocked, and host to a number of species

Blackbird, Common Grackle, Brown-headed Cowbird, etc

Thanks to Tony Leukering, a Mountain Bluebird that had slipped under the
eBird radar (flagged as 'passerine sp.') was brought to my attention
yesterday. The report - with photo - was updated late last night to show the
correct species (https://ebird.org/gbbc/view/checklist/S43036433). It was
