Wow!! Gray Jay and Pine Grosbeaks! I haven't seen a Gray Jay, one of these days
If you visit Spruce Bog Boardwalk, you are almost guaranteed to see a Canada Jay at the parking lot. I have only missed them once in the last five years. This year, Red-breasted Nuthatches were everywhere! If you are lucky, you might see a Pine Marten, but I noticed they took the feeders at Spruce Bog. I suspect because of COVID. Pine Grosbeaks are fairly common at the feeders below the balcony deck. There you can also find Redpolls, Purple Finches, Evening Grosbeaks, both Crossbills, and Pine Siskins. Last year, I got my first Spruce Grouse at the Boardwalk. Two birds I still haven't photographed are a Black-backed Woodpecker and a Bohemian Waxwing. Boreal Chickadees are also a tough find, it is in decline in the park. I photographed one in Newfoundland. Hopefully, one day you'll get a chance to get up North, it is worth it! I did though see Evening Grosbeaks at High Park and Common Redpolls visited my feeders in Scarborough in 2012. Good Luck!
