Well normally this bird takes the crown for most spectacular plumage. However not today. The Mandarin Duck currently at Burnaby is taking all the attention :)

Toronto - Ontario's Trumpeter Swans, introduced a few decades ago, winter largely on Lake Ontario between Toronto and Hamilton. They are a familiar sight along the waterfront in the winter.

Rondeau - A high of +12C was enough to get this Carolina Wren to sing about spring. Winter returned the next day :)

Ottawa - Last month I posted a picture of a Tree Sparrow but I couldn't confirm until now that the number of winter visitors this year are way down from what we can expect. With Christmas bird counts almost complete for another year, results are showing low to record low numbers across Ontario. I'm not sure why that is. It doesn't suggest that there is anything disastrous happening with the species but it is a curiosity. We'll see this time next year if the numbers return to normal.

Ottawa - In winter, in a year when subjects can be hard to find, you take what you can get. What you can't see is the degree of difficulty shooting down on the subject from a pedestrian bridge where the railing interferes with the lens (on tripod) on a brisk winter afternoon at -14C.

Ottawa - There is good news on the woodpecker front. All of the southern species in Ontario are showing an upward trend in their populations. This includes the Pileated which is experiencing record highs on Christmas counts in many areas. My take on this, and I was expecting it, is that it is related to the decimation of native ash trees due to the emerald ash borer. Almost 10% of the tree population in the southern part of the province is ash. The white ash will be almost wiped out in the next very few years as the onslaught continues. The species is virtually gone in the south.
