Interesting little fellow, isn't he?  I emailed these photos to the OFO earlier today for their word on him.

Thanks guys!

No, actually we found him up in Algonquin Park on Saturday.  He was up Opeongo Road near the gates, with a small flock of Chickadees.  It would have been awesome to hand feed him but he wasn't into it.  The other Chickadees were...  and the Gray Jays too!

Great shots, I saw him there at the end of January, he wouldn't handfeed then either.

Heeeeeeeeeey Reuven!  Nice to see you!  And it's pretty cool to know someone else who saw this little guy way the heck up north there in such a vast place like Algonquin!  Hope all is well with you.   :D
