Protocol: Traveling
1.0 mile(s)
Comments: With Kim, Christina & Brian for Maple Sugaring event along with several other people in the 2 foot deep snow. The sanctuary put on a nice event & I was even able to see a few species as we wandered the trails although the woods were very quiet, the best activity was on the centre's feeders.
Weather: cloudy then out bright; cold; 2 feet of snow on the ground.
10 species
Downy Woodpecker 1 on the feeders, viewed from the canteen as we ate pancakes with maple syrup.
Blue Jay X - heard.
Common Raven 2 flew over individually as I put my snow boots on in the carpark. Wonderful unmistakable call & large size.
Black-capped Chickadee X - mainly on the feeders but also heard in the woods.
Tufted Titmouse X - feeders.
Red-breasted Nuthatch X - several on the feeders; easy to identify with red breast & black head stripes. Along with the chickadees it was the most numerous bird on the feeders. Life-tick.
White-breasted Nuthatch 1 on a tree in the carpark next to our car.
Dark-eyed Junco X - a few flitting around, mainly under the feeders or within nearby bushes.
Northern Cardinal 2
Pine Siskin X - a few, or maybe even just one, coming in & out to the sunflower seeds. I only saw one at a time so it may have been just one, or a few taking turns.
