Good Afternoon All,

I spotted a pair of Bald Eagles today while driving along the 407 WB between the 403 and Britannia Road.  The two were perched in a tree near the spillway which is often frequented by shorebirds and herons.  One of the two flew off in a northwesterly direction, the other remained in the tree.

Note:  The location as above is along an active highway route (Hwy 407).  If you choose to visit this location, please be very cautious.

Good Birding!

Good Birding!

Good Evening All,

At approximately 2:15pm this afternoon, I observed a solitary Northern Shrike flying NE across the Old Airfield (Mew Lake Campground) in Algonquin Park.

The bird was carrying a prey item (either a mouse or a vole) and did not remain very long, but just long enough to get a look at it's curved bill.

Directions: Highway 60 to Algonquin Park.  Mew Lake campground is approx. Km 30.  Follow road in to campground, Old Airfield parking lot less than 1 km in on left (follow signs).  By foot follow Old Railway Bike Trail (signs posted) to airfield.  Permit required.

Good Birding!

Good Morning!

I just saw a pair of Black-bellied Whistling Ducks on the Waterfront Trail, south side of Farran Park Campground in Ingleside.  The pair stayed for approximately 20 minutes and then flew eastbound.  Attempting to relocate.

Good Birding!
