Lancaster - We get the odd one in migration with the Snow Geese. This one has more Lesser genes than Ross's. It is a little smaller than a Lesser Snow Goose and has a smaller bill and head like Ross's. The forehead is sloping like a Snow Goose rather than more vertical like a Ross's Goose.

Lancaster - I had these rarities drop in very briefly with the huge flocks of Snow Geese (we have about 130,000 in the area).

Burlington - Males are very attractive, even in winter plumage. The numbers of this winter visitor have already thinned as spring advances.

Chesterville - These are our first songbird migrants, a welcome sight after winter. Small flocks, pairs and singles are present in open fields and along roadsides.

Trois Rivieres - This bird has been around most of the season and was my 5th one this winter. These owls will be heading north in the next few weeks but it has been an enjoyable winter with them.

Ottawa - Winter Wren is not a new bird but this was my first in winter, as shown with this snow white background. In Southern Ontario a few stick around but further north they are rare in winter. I made four attempts to see this little guy over the last 6 weeks (not travelling specifically for it) and finally got lucky.

Ottawa - This Pileated is not pleased that the owl is still around. It let it know several times. Maybe it had plans to take down the treetop :)
