Jun 12th & 13th 2025
LOCATION: South River | WEATHER: Mix sun and cloud but a tad cool |
I have been planning a trip up north for a week or so, and a spot I have had decent success with over the years has been the general area around South River. South River is almost 4 hours from my home in Kitchener, so in order to get the best part of day 1, I had to be on the road for 3:00am. My primary targets were songbirds and in particular Warblers, and I am pleased to say there were lots of Warblers around, as you can see from the images below. There were a couple of songbirds, although hearing them almost everywhere, I was unable to get in the frame - Ovenbird, Red-eyed Vireo and Winter Wren. Even the American Redstart was evasive. |

Tim and I took a run around a few of our favorite roads in Puslinch Township with some degree of success. At one point we hit Safari Road, but the Prothonotary Warbler seems to either keeping low or has moved on as we didn't see or hear the bird. I wouldn't be surprised if it took off because of all the constant attention I am sure it got from the photo community. |

It has been ages since I did some birding with my good friend Helen, and as usual her exceptional listening and identification skills hit the mark. Unfortunately her one discovery was beyond my skills in getting that bird in the frame ... a Winter Wren. A bit disappointing, but I am glad to say that she was able to get a couple of great shots ,,, great work Helen!! |
