This is an area that I make a point of checking for birds quite often as there are many varieties of habitats here right on lake Ontario. It was a beautiful morning to watch this rare duck so close to shore. The duck was diving quite often to avoid waves and to feed but did pose nicely on a rock for me for a little while.<br />

The trees are brightly coloured, but the birds (ie the warblers) loose their breeding plumage and become less brightly colour than their springtime counter parts. This adds new ID challenges and are often over looked because they are harder to find. That's what make finding and IDing fall warblers that much more rewarding.<br />

These birds are usually very secretive and are often difficult to get a good look at. But today the Virginia Rail I have been hearing finally decided to show off a bit!<br />

So far I have been able to find some pretty good birds without out having to do to much travelling such as a Blue-Winged Teal, Fox Sparrow and even a Viginia Rail (though I didn't get a photo). But as soon as April comes around and the weather starts to warm up the count down starts till the warblers decide to make an appearance. Yesterday I found my first of the year... a pine warbler at Hyde Tract in Flamborough Ontario.<br />

Turns out everyone else had the same idea, the park was packed! I tried to stay off the beaten path and was able to avoid many of the crowds, but highway 60 was a zoo.<br />
It was a beautiful morning and I was one of the first people to the look out on centennial ridges trail that day.<br />

On the Owen Point trail the only bird out of the ordinary was a Willow Flycatcher that I didn't actually see but only heard. From there I headed to the light house, en route I heard a Blue-winged warbler and a Clay Coloured Sparrow in the day use area but again couldn't see either bird. At the lighthouse there was many Baltimore Orioles and a female Magnolia Warbler, along with Nashville, Yellow and Common Yellowthroats . <br />

After looking around the lighthouse for a little while I decide to go an see if I could find the blue winged or clay coloured sparrow in the day use area. I could still hear the clay coloured sparrow but got side tracked by a Scarlet Tanager and a number of warblers.<br />

On May 6 I went to Harold Town conservation area early in the morning to photography some early spring vegetation not expecting to find any birds. Almost right way I a pair of wood ducks were in the trees above me which is always I nice find. On my way back to my car I decided to have a look at a poplar/aspen stand where I have found many warblers before. This spot did not fail me, there were Yellow-Rumped, Nashville, Palm, and Black-Throated Green as well as Rose-Breasted Grosbeak and a Blue Headed Vireo among the other usual birds. <br />

2 days later an early morning thunderstorm passed through the area, this forced all the migrating birds to land an take cover. Once the storm had passed and with high expectations I went and explored a few spot I though would have many birds. I managed to find many warblers including a Cape May warbler in the Millbrook valley trail system, however they were all high up in the trees and not very good for photos. After about and hour and a half of successful birding but not photography I decided the haroldtown CA would likely have lots of birds at lower level because the trees are smaller. So that is where I headed. When I arrived at my usual spot I couldn't believe how many birds were there, they trees were covered in warblers! and other new migrants. Below are some of the photos and most interesting species click <a href="https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B-eUSUXKGB8lUFNDaFpqWGtvYTg&usp=sharing" target="_blank">here</a> to see more.<br />

I also seen a Northern Shrike which is more of a winter resident here but still nice to see. However the best bird was a Blue Headed Vireo that came to my feeder with some nuthatches and chickadees. The Vireo wasn't interested in the feeder just seemed to be traveling with the nuthatches and chickadees.<br />

These are always some of my favorite birds to find in the spring as they are usually one of the first ones back (if they leave at all). But they also remind me of being on the coast of Hudson's Bay as these 2 species are some of the more common birds there in the spring.

There were quite a few Goldeneye around doing there mating rituals bu they were pretty far off. I did find two hooded mergansers that were fairly close to shore:<br />

With the snow that we got on Sunday I couldn't resist going to Bond Head in Newcastle. Much of the shore line of lake Ontario has frozen up, but here there is still a bit of open water were many ducks like to congregate. With no where else really to go they are pretty tolerant of people. I have been there a couple of times this winter and everytime there is a different mix of species of ducks. This time is was mainly Greater Scaup with some of the usually other ducks like Mallards, Goldeneye and Long-tailed Ducks there was also a couple female Hooded Mergansers. But the hightlight for me was a white-winged Scoter and a Redhead. I have seen these two species before but they are usually far out in the water, so it was nice to finally see them up close. <br />

But, this past week I was able to do a little birding in some of my usual spots. I made a trip up to Algonquin Provincial Park last weekend in hopes to find an Evening Grosbeak. These birds haven't been around much this winter but they are pretty regular at the visitor center bird feeders. I stopped in there in the morning and there were maybe 30 of these birds but by the afternoon on my way by again there were none. But there were a few purple finches the second time around...<br />

The next day I was able to make it down to Lake Ontario in Newcastle. The shores were frozen solid and there wasn't much around, but in bond head there were a few ducks that had found some open water and were very cooperative because they didn't have any were to go. <br />

The bird I most want to see this winter is a Snowy Owl. There are many juvenile snowy owls around the south this year because a boom in the lemming population allowed for a very successful breeding season for snowy owl. I have not been able to see any snowies closer to home so I decided to go down to Presqu'ile Provincial Park where I have seen a snowy owls are much more common in the winter. Sure enough the first place I looked from Owen Point there was a snowy!... on my way back I also found some freezing looking mute swans...<br />

Egan Chutes is a very nice waterfall and I will definitely be visiting there again. It was a bit of a difficult place to find as there is no real sign directing you to Egan Chutes Provincial Park. But we found it and after hiking along the side of the river for a bit we came to the waterfall. <br />

But most of the highway was under construction and made it difficult to just stop to take some photos. Here are a couple I could manage though.<br />

As you can see I had some fun with Panoramic Photos as well.<br />
I also hiked into wolf howl pond via arowhon road, didn't find a whole lot there but I did spend some time stalking this Wood Duck, and had a Pine Marten run in front of me on the way out. The weather was perfect and it was a pretty great day to be out.<br />

</div>
For labour day weekend this year we headed to Fork Lake in Algonquin. This is a short paddle up sunday creek accessed right off highway 60 in Algonquin. It turned out that water levels were very low and we ended up having to push ourselves over many logs and through some very muddy sections it was very frustrating trip in. Once we made it to Norway Lake (the lake before Fork) we seen some wildlife that made it all worthwhile. As we paddled across Norway Lake we watched as 2 wolves chased 3 moose a cow and twin calves out of the bush right at us. At first we didn't realize what we were seeing, but once the moose were in the water it became quite obvious that the remaining two animals on shore were wolves! They stood on shore and nipped at the moose a bit, but once they realized that we were there they left as quickly as they came. My camera was well packed as it looked like rain, so I was unable to get a picture of the wolves, but I did get a couple of shots of the very weary moose. <br />

after watching the moose for sometime, we continued on our way to Fork lake. The river to Fork was impassable, and we had to turn back and spent the rest of the weekend on Norway Lake. It was a great weekend there. We heard wolves and 2 Great Horned Owls every night and on our last day the wolves were howling for much of the day very close to our site.<br />
<br />
Here are a few other shots from around the lake:<br />

I was a great weekend just relaxing even though it was pretty windy. The finally morning I decided to get up early and was rewarded with a completely still lake, it was beautiful:<br />

The breeding season is over so they don't call as much and the are often difficult to find behind all the foliage. So lately I have been playing with making HDR (High Dynamic Range) photos, the theory is that these photo approximate what your eye sees better than a traditional photo. You be the judge:<br />

This was an awesome experience even though it was cold and we seen snow fall twice on the trip. We were there to find Canada Goose nests and monitor the number of Goslings that hatched from each nest.<br />

This is a very labour intensive process as we had to thoroughly check the coast line for as many Canada Goose Nests as we could find which required each member in our 8 person crew to walk at least 10 km per day through mud and knee high bush.<br />

But this is great way to see the sights of Akimiski Island. We were usually flown by helicopter from base camp to the area that needed to be searched that day, so we were able to explore much of the coastal area of the northern part of the island.<br />

This year we also needed to estimate numbers in the Snow Goose colony so we spent 2 day nest searching in this area. Snow geese nest much closer together than Canada geese so they kept us on our toes.<br />

As you may have guessed I was very excited to see what kinds of birds I would find on the Island. The bird I was most interested in seeing was a Marbled Godwit, and I was not disappointed I can say I seen one of these birds almost everyday! <br />

I got there about 7:45am and right off the bat I found some Wilson's Snipes which I have seen many times before but never been able to photograph because they are usually flying over head or well hidden in the vegetation.<br />

Next I continued up the Road to the viewing blind on Wylie road. Here I found some barn swallows and eastern bluebirds that came very close. The Barn Swallows were actually nesting in the blind so they were there all day.<br />

After watching the Bluebirds, Swallows, Grasshopper Sparrows, Peewees and Meadowlarks for some time from the blind I decide to continue up the road. But when I left the blind I found a Loggerhead Shrike almost right behind the blind. It was along way off so I didn't get any good photos but I was happy to have finally seen one. It remained there only briefly and then was gone. So I continued up the road.<br />
<br />
The Highlights of Wylie road were 2 Blandings turtles, 2 Clay Coloured Sparrows and Several Golden Winged Warblers, but other than the Blandings Turtles nothing else really posed for photos. After making the treacherous journey back down Wylie road I decided to do a few other trails. Paire smoke and early buttercup were everywhere and I managed to add bobolink to the birds of the day<br />
