Evening Grosbeak

Its been a good year for new species at the feeders. Last week a flock of more than 60 Common Red Polls descended and stayed for three days. Yesterday, more than 30 Evening Grosbeaks landed and stayed and shelled close to 10 pounds of sunflower seeds. It was impressive. Mary and Simon go owling every day and have success talking to what we think may be the Northern Saw-Whet Owl. Very cool adventures in the bush. The rains are coming heavy and the snow is finally leaving. I hope the Canal Operators are ready and waiting to run their systems this week! The waters will surely rise to the south of us.
