Redpoll winter appearances depend largely on the availability of seeds in their habitat further north. When there is a shortage of food, they move south in what is called an irruptive movement. This usually happens every other year or so! When it happens, redpolls are a common visitor to bird feeders!

White-breasted nuthatches love bird feeders. This one was hanging around the one at the Pinery visitor centre. Females have a greyer crown and less rufous on their belly.

After a night spent in the humid grass, as the sun comes up the birds like to sit on a post and get their feathers dry! Unfortunately this is strongly backlit, but the species is not so easy to get in front of the camera so well!!

When you go to Carden Alvar you forget how rare Bobolinks actually are in the rest of the province! Carden Alvar is an amazing hotspot for open area species like them!

This photo is a little blurry but it shows a very special encounter: away from any water a whole family of Virginia Rails (one adult and 4 chicks) crossed our road out of the blue! This was stayed behind nd wasn't sure whether to cross or not... it eventually did and joined all the others!

The Carden Alvar is a great location for early June birding! One of the most common birds there is the Eastern Kingbird!
