It’s the next morning at the old hunt camp and I’m doing a short walk to see if I can find any new species this time around. It’s overcast, so the morning chorus is less enthusiasti...

On these hikes I’m always surprised when I come back to the same trail, and find different things. Today is no exception. For the next couple episodes I’ll be hiking the north side o...

In the second half of this hike I’ll be seeing how far I can get down this trail in the time I have alotted for myself. Partly so I can see some new things, and partly because I do p...

Today I’m trying a new trail - an unopened road allowance that follows the edge of the park property. It starts as a road but quickly gets much more narrow, with small cedars and shr...

We’re continuing along the road allowance that skirts the edge of the national park lands. Along the way we’ll hear some Black-and-white Warblers, Red-winged Blackbirds, Blue Jays, a...

Now that I know how to enter the south side of the Pine Tree Point Nature Reserve, I’m making my way north from the cottage community of Pine Tree Habour. It’s afternoon so the songs...

During my time in Johnston Harbour and Pine Tree Point, I occaisionally will hear a kinglet sing. But so far I will either only hear the bird briefly, or at a distance. That’s about ...

I’m continuing my hike from Pine Tree Harbour towards the crossroads of trails I’m calling Kinglet Junction. A couple days ago I encountered both species of kinglet, and I hoping tha...

In this final part of this hike, I’m returning back to the trailhead at Pine Tree Harbour. One might assume that it means we’ll hear the same things, but a Wood Thrush is showing me ...

It’s my last day at Johnston Harbour for 2022, and I’m doing an early morning hike - despite some overcast weather, the songs are both abundant and diverse. Credits Songbirding was r...

It's mid-May of 2023, and I've returned to Johnston Harbour once again. It's even quieter than I expected, though.. at least, for now. Credits Songbirding was recorded, engineered, n...

It’s early morning on the 19th of May 2023, and while the dawn has brought some songs, it’s a relatively quiet day… so far. But as we follow the Crane River to Scuggog Lake, migrant ...

It’s been about an hour and I’m still exploring the short stretch between Crane River and Scuggog Lake — it seems the longer I’m here, the more migrant songbirds arrive. Credits Song...

It’s been an hour and a half since I started listening and watching the migrant songbirds along Crane River, and the peak of activity has yet to arrive. Credits Songbirding was recor...
