Napanee - the repertoire of this bird was incredible. It did virtually perfect songs of Tufted Titmouse, Blue Jay (two different calls), Eastern Phoebe and the call of a Kingfisher in addition to its own call notes. There were others too but these were the best. Practise makes perfect they say. If you closed your eyes you could not distinguish the calls as not being the real thing. We found this bird while looking for a Tufted Titmouse that was calling. That was one big titmouse :)

Constance Bay - west of Ottawa. I spent the afternoon with this pair which were actively feeding. Chicks still quite young – not visible. This is the only breeding pair I know of in the region. The nest was near the top of a 50 ft snag. Update: I just learned that there are 4 known breeding pairs in Eastern Ontario but that's still a far cry from the number we used to have.

At first I thought this was a Willow Flycatcher, but sound and behaviour indicated Pewee. It was actively hawking insects from a low perch.
