Long Sault - Flocks of redpolls have been showing up along country roads in the last few weeks with birds actively feeding on weed seeds. Later in the winter, when snows cover more of their food, they should appear at feeders.

Ottawa - A good flight this fall. The birds are present for only a short time before heading south to the US Atlantic coast.

Ottawa - these are scrappy birds that regularly have interactions.

St. Rose - We have half a dozen birds about 40 minutes from me which is a smaller number than the last few years but appreciated nevertheless. This was a 'pole bird' that didn't mind our presence. As a rule I don't take many pole shots but the light was great and it was very cooperative. I shot from the window and moved on after a minute.
Update: Some owl stats. Christmas count data indicated that the flight this year was larger than I expected. Nearly 190 birds were counted in Ontario with about 40% in the east. Some stayed and others moved into the U.S. until spring.

Cornwall - Redpolls have been along roadsides feeding in weeds since December but it was only recently that they headed to feeders when heavy snow arrived. Update:. Christmas bird counts in Eastern Ontario did well with redpolls. Several had record numbers with the highest being over 750. Some feeders in the region are now seeing 30-75 birds coming in regularly.

Sherbrooke - We spent the day with the bird and in this shot it had retrieved a cached vole from an 8 ft. high stump. We didn't know it was there. We were just shooting the bird when it retrieved it from below. Imagine the surprise.
