Algonquin Winter Tracking 2014

Page 1 - Birds

 
One of the ubiquitous Grey Jays that you will find up here. They are quite unafraid of people, and will follow you along a trail sometimes for quite a distance, apparently hoping for handouts of nuts and dried fruit.
Another Grey Jay.
No birds here ... just a nice view.

Ruffed Grouse tracks

The trail made by the Ruffed Grouse as it walked down the snowbank to the road.

Black-capped Chickadees are very common here.

Another Black-capped Chickadee.

Much less common are the Boreal Chickadees, which are quite brown. This winter I only saw one. You can usually find them at the Spruce Bog Boardwalk trail (usually at the suet feeder), and along Opeongo Road where it passes through the spruce forest.

A frequent visitor to the suet feeder is the Hairy Woodpecker.

I didn't manage to see a Black-backed Woodpecker this year. :(
