Drove away up north, hoping to see all the Boreal species at Moose Bog yesterday. Well, not quite, but had some nice views of the Black-backed woodpecker (male), and Gray Jays. Photos here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/33836164@N03/sets/72157629386025341/ Other species inclided White wiged Crossbills (more heard than seen) Golden-crowned kinglet- Wayne got a great photo of the crown. Chickadees (probably a Boreal in there but did not see it. Another couple saw one...) Husband heard a loud grouse take-off-not like the sound we get here of Ruffed Grouse. probable Spruce Grouse. Quite a few Red-breasted nuthatches Nice view if a very yellow Pine Siskin-heard more Gray Jays were delightful and came close- first encounter for us.
