Hello, We ( my son Jakub, Wojtek Grezlikowski and myself) visited: Charles, Moose Factory and Ship Sands Islands. First two islands we explored around and across, third, along the East shore ( 8 hours). We have noted total of 30 species ( Charles 17, Moose Factory 9, Ship Sands 13). The most common on all tree islands was SONG SPARROW. From others: GOLDEN EAGLE 2, NORTHERN RAVEN has been eating prey on the lamp ( Moose Factory); NELSON’S SHARP-TAILED SPARROW 1, MERLIN 4 ( one has been chasing Greater Yellowlegs), SEMIPALMATED PLOVER 1, SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER 1 ( Ship Sands). Mammals: Striped Skunk 1 ( Ship Sands), Black Bear 1 ( West shore on Moosonee River on the way to Ship Sands), Red Squirrel common ( Moose Factory, Charles Is.), Snowshoe Hare 1 (Moosonee) and BEARDED SEAL 2 ( male and female) on Charles Is. North shore. Both individuals were not scary of my presence and I could photographed them from the closest distance of 6 meters (Nikon D 200, Sigma 150-500 zoom).
Jacek Pawlikowski, Toronto PS One day, a couple of Cree Indian visited us with a fresh dish of Sturgeon, it was the best taste which I have experience. I am an avid angler since childhood, but only Native can fish for Sturgeon. PS 700 pictures taken and are ready to share. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
