A few more bird notes ♩ ♬ ♪

New arrivals in Marathon today include:

Mallard 2 (at the Peninsula Harbour)
Ring-billed Gull 2 (at landfill)
Snow Bunting 17 (at driving range)

At Pukaskwa National Park I heard a Purple Finch singing and saw an immature Bald Eagle.

Near Heron Bay, there was a strutting male Ruffed Grouse and 30 or so Evening Grosbeaks at a feeder.

Backyard bird update.

Our backyard feeders are busy. American Tree Sparrows now outnumber Dark-eyed Juncos.
A Song Sparrow has been replaced by a Fox Sparrow.

A dozen or so Purple Finches come and go through the day.
