  • In this episode of the 300 Bird Challenge, we go birding at Rouge National Urban Park, McLaughlin Bay and we look for courting Woodcocks at Tommy Thompson Park. What new birds can we find?
    Note: Just to be transparent, the footage of Bluebirds was taken over the course of two visits to Rouge Park within the same week (if you're wondering why the weather looks different).

    I love Tommy Thompson Park. There's so many birds, sounds, plants to discover.

      Expect we will be back closer to the warbler migration if we have time!

    Lovely video, only ever seen 1 woodcock. Also wonderful to see the lovely Sarah making more of a contribution. Don't be shy Sarah, your knowledge proceeds you :)

      Thanks Marcus. I almost tripped over one once in Algonquin. They're so well camouflaged 🧐

    I enjoyed the video a lot. I used to see a woodcock in a woodlot one time.

      Thanks Nathan. It's a cool bird. I've seen a couple, but mostly by luck/accident 😂

    What a great visit you had to Rouge Park with the killdeer and the bluebirds didn't disappoint either. I really liked the woodcock footage and Sarah's explanation of their courtship rituals; I've never seen one nor heard one and watching your experience taught me how I might go about it and what to look for... and it helped me understand the 'peent' part in the title!
    Lastly, I love your license plates! Thanks for another great video, you two!

    Oh, SO close to 1/3 of the way there! Congrats on the WoodCock, have never seen one. Cheers from chilly Alberta.

      @BritHikesOntario  3 месяца назад +1

      Haha thanks Tracy. I have a feeling that bird 100 will be quite a special one 😉
      For us, anyway. Think you get them a lot in Alberta.

    So glad your video popped up today! Love the videos and you're getting so close to that 100 benchmark! Keep up the great work!

      Working on editing another video with bird 100. It's a fairly special bird (for here, anyway).
      I see you have a video from San Jacinto. That was one of our favourite locations on our California trip last year. Will give it a watch soon.

    Another great video. Interesting that you mentioned expecting to see the mourning cloak butterfly first of the spring. That is how it has been here for years (central Ontario location) and yet last year it was a comma I saw first. It will be interesting to see which butterfly is first here this spring. I like that you include some of the other wildlife, too, on your videos. I am a birder first, but love watching all the wildlife and plants "return" each spring.

      Thanks so much Karen. Definitely looking forward to Butterflies and other nature. I've just started to see turtles beginning to emerge and I hear frogs 🐸 ☺️

      We have a long trip this weekend and I'd expect us to pick them up.

    I have seen the Woodcock on Arden road hwy 15, I am pretty sure it was one there are lots of different birds in the wetlands all the way south to Tamworth.

    • @BritHikesOntario
      @BritHikesOntario  3 месяца назад +1

      Side of the road with a bit of luck thrown in is a good way to see them!

    Hi, I was wondering if you get many boreal species in your area.

    • @BritHikesOntario
      @BritHikesOntario  3 месяца назад +1

      Some will migrate through this area, but our resident species are mostly Carolinian. You'd have to travel a couple of hours further north (eg. Algonquin Park) for more boreal species.

    • @davidsisson1488
      @davidsisson1488 3 месяца назад +1

      Thank you for your reply, I use to live in south eastern Pennsylvania and certain winters when food was scarce up north we would see flocks of common redpolls,evening grosbeaks and the occasional crossbill.

      @@BritHikesOntario I see it on other videos, but on this video the squares where I should see thumbnails of other videos now stay empty....wierd

      @BritHikesOntario  3 месяца назад

      I've watched the end 4 times lol
      I was able to replicate it once - the thumbs didn't show when I watched on desktop. But the other 3 times it worked.
      I'll just assume it is RUclips gremlins.
      Anyway, thanks for the heads-up.
