Morrisburg - A sign of spring. This pair is not local. Mutes are only seen a few times a year on the St. Lawrence. They are regular at locations on Lake Ontario.

Ottawa - This shot begs for a caption. A couple that come to mind are 'sushi on the menu tonight' and 'ice fishing is for the birds'. Overwintering Robins were taking advantage of a small pool of open water with an abundant supply of minnows. They were very good at it but I only saw it happen twice. Others have seen it at this location for a few weeks. Protein is in short supply these days and you'd get tired of frozen fruit too.

Wolfe Island (Kingston) - The uncommon Hoary in comparison with a Common Redpoll on the right. The hoary is paler overall with dull side streaks, unstreaked under the tail and a small bill, giving the face a pushed in look. Thousands of Common Redpolls have descended from the North and are appearing mainly in flocks of 25-100 in rural areas. Weedy fields or roadsides are preferred. When the snow is deep they should appear at feeders. There are a small number of Hoary Redpolls with them.
Redpolls are annoyingly skittish, often remaining only moments for observation. When they are at feeders they are far easier to observe.

Perth - A two-day wonder for this western vagrant. It put on a nice show, occasionally coming close to the road. It was gone the next morning.

Presqu'ile Provincial Park - It was a miserable day with steady rain and very high wind. That no doubt brought the gull down. The bird had a nice breeding season 'blush' on the underparts.
