Birding Algonquin Park today with Dan Salisbury (Tues. Jan. 20) produced a few interesting birds, (and failed to produce 2 or 3 others which might have been expected).
Black-backed woodpecker (1 male). South side of # 60 opposite Bat Lake Trail (Km 30). Working a dead white pine just off the road. Bohemian waxwing (1), perched at the top of a tall tree near Km 9. Northern shrike (1). Opeongo Rd. Grey jay (5). 2 Opeongo Rd., 3 Spruce Bog Trail. Pine grosbeak (3). 2 locations. Common redpoll (50). several locations. Hoary redpoll (1) with Common redpolls, at Visitor's centre feeder. White-winged crossbill (40). 4 different locations, largest flock 20 birds. We looked for the Northern hawk owl near Bracebridge, without success. I note that the last posting was Jan.10, (which of course doesn't prove that the bird is gone). John Keenleyside Burlington.
