Last day of #birding in #Canada ; a fabulous trip with good company. A big 'thank you' to local birders / nature lovers who told us where to find Bluebird & Bobolink, for the tip-offs of the Whip-poor-will & Screech Owl very much appreciated. Two days in #Toronto & the #holiday finished on a high (1168 ft to be exact),what an experience!!

From the #CanadaTrip - we saw plenty of these Eastern Chipmunk during the holiday. This one had a burrow entrance right on a path at Long Point Bird Observatory and would happily scurry around anyone in its way.

Day 8 of the #CanadaTrip and the #birding continues on a high. The day was spent at Long Point Bird Observatory and Long Point Provincial Park (old). Amongst the highlights today a Wilson's Warbler!

Day 7 of the #CanadaTrip Most of the day was spent at Long Point with more Warblers seen - Nashville, Blackburnian, Chestnut-sided, Cape May amongst others & Eastern Wood Peewee. A trip outside LPBO brought us Eastern Bluebird. Then later in Backus Woods, the utterly astounding sound of a Pileated Woodpecker drumming - just WOW!

Wild Turkey - I was nicknamed 'Captain Breadcrumb' by the rest of the crew because for the first part of the #CanadaTrip , I was the one consistently finding Wild Turkey. Here's a little video of a male displaying and female (towards the end of the video - after the dodgy bit of filming 😂 ). Watched at Point Pelee National Park

Day 6 of the #CanadaTrip Our first visit to the Long Point Bird Observatory. The unusual-birds-to-us continued to impress and it was a real pleasure to see new species. We spent most of the day at LPBO but also visited the new Long Point Provincial Park - Plot 419's trees were dripping with birds!

Day 5 of the #CanadaTrip saw us travelling to Long Point with a stop at Rondeau Provincial Park to break the journey. Amazingly, the Screech Owl had set up in the middle of a camp ground! It would have been good to have spent more time at #Rondeau but needs must.

Day 4 of the #CanadaTrip and we spent a final morning at Point Pelee before moving on to Hillman marsh. A group of 19 Turkey Vulture rode a thermal along with 5 Broad-winged Hawk; Orchard Oriole was seen again and we had to have a final look at Prothonotary Warbler. Before we left the Park, news came of an unusual sighting. Many visitors headed for the spot but I'm glad to say the bird was not disturbed.

Day 3 of the trip to #Canada We got up early to ensure we could get to the tip of Point Pelee National Park (the southernmost point of mainland #Canada) in time for #sunrise. We managed it and saw a 'reverse migration' where birds appear to head south (instead of north). What an experience and our first good day of #warbler species. Fabulous.

Day 2 of the trip to #Canada and the wonderful #wildlife didn't stop. The colours of common birds like Tree Swallow and Common Grackle never stopped catching the eye; more #woodpecker action - this time Red-bellied; and we just could not resist revisiting the Prothonotary Warbler. What a place!
