Early this evening, I just happened to look out in the backyard and there were
two Common Redpolls perched on a decorative planter hook. They flew off
quickly and I think I glanced out at just the right time.

Today between 6 and 7 p.m. I watched two Black Terns (a pair?) flying
back and forth in a small marsh not far from the Kirkfield Lift Lock.
>From time to time one flew quite close to the car -- could have gotten
some good photos if there had been a camera on hand.
Location: From the junction of Kawartha Lakes 48 and 6, go north
to the lift lock. Turn right immediately after passing under the lock,
onto Talbot River Road. Take the first left onto Shrike Road. The
birds were in a small marsh a km. or so north. There's a pond on the
west (left) side (often a good spot to see a Blue-winged Teal), and the
larger marsh on the east. The "City" of Kawartha Lakes is about 1.5
hours northeast of Toronto.
If you are birding Wylie Road: from the south endof Wylie, turn
east (left) on McNamee. Shrike Road is the first intersection; turn
right (south) and find the marsh below the big hill (and don't forget to
smell the lilacs).
