Algonquin Park - Numerous Red Crossbills present but few White-winged this year. Normally we can expect pictures from ground level looking to tree tops but from the elevated visitor centre deck I was almost at the height of the trees.

Brian Morin: I ran into the same issue earlier in the week with Short-eared Owls, right down to the last rays of sunlight. You did well.
Chris: I’ve noticed the sun out here seems different than in the east. More “blinding” and I tend to get burned more easily. Have yet to pinpoint what it causing this difference

Short-eared Owl (21)

Asio flammeus

Wolfe Island Kingston – It was a good winter for this species on the island. Earlier in the year I had many but while there were only 4-5 remaining on this day, I was very pleased with the result. The nice thing about shorties is that they usually become active before dark, in this case 2 hours ahead, so getting acceptable photos in available light is possible.

Wolfe Island (Kingston) - This was one of 5 shrikes I encountered that day, a record total for me. I figured that 2-3 of them were recent northbound migrants.
That is the actual colour of the bird. It's in transition.
