Ontario bird cam

[thouc]

The Ontario (not sure exactly where, but definitely north of here) bird cam at the Cornell website has been really good lately.

I have seen the very late Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Pine Grosbeak, Evening Grosbeak, Blue Jay, Hairy Woodpecker and Black-capped Chickadee so far. There is also a Ruffed Grouse visiting, but I haven't seen it yet.

This is a great camera! I can't resist having a quick peek most days - especially knowing it's probably going to be the only way to see Winter Finches for those of us in the southern part of the province (thanks Ron).  The location is Manitouwadge, which is somewhere N/E of Thunder Bay. In addition to your list, I've also seen a Gray Jay. I managed to catch the Ruffed Grouse at about 8 am a few days ago. Wonder if any Boreal Chickadees might show?   -kris

I saw a Hoary Redpoll among the Common Redpolls at the Ontario cam feeder this morning. Also Pine and Evening Grosbeaks.

That's funny  :shock:

When you mentioned Manitouwadge I had to do a double take..

It looks to be a very high percentage Hoary Redpolls in this image from the Manitouwadge feeder from today:

Hiya Napper!  Wow, haven't heard from you in ages.  Happy New Year!

Very neat to see those posts on the Toronto forum.  You can let them know that altho' Boreal Chickadees are in the area, they do not come to feeders.    Hope everyone is enjoying the views of Common Redpolls this winter!

Nice Great Horned Owl!
