Hi folks, There is at least one, possibly two, Fish Crows at the Old Airfield in Algonquin Park.
I heard one early this morning calling very briefly from the Lake of Two Rivers campground, and proceeded to look for it for about two hours there, but the crows had gone silent and I convinced myself I was hearing things. I returned to the airfield an hour ago and immediately heard one calling again close to the parking area, and after listening to it for about twenty minutes, it flew in to say hello and sat on a spruce tree in the airfield. At this point it sounded as though there may have been two, as one may have been calling in the distance towards the campground at the same time. Nice bird. If accepted, it’ll be the first record for the park. Lev Frid Algonquin can be accessed via highways 400, 11, and 60. Access the airfield by driving to the Mew Lake Campground (km 30.8) and parking at the wood yard. The road is not plowed beyond to the airfield but is short and easily walkable. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
