Spring 2026 is Slowly Arriving
Migrating birds are beginning to arrive but the snow and ice from the winter are having a tough time giving up. The lake still has a lot of pack ice floating around with the winds and most ponds are starting to thaw but then a night with below freezing temperatures comes along and freezes them up again. Tundra swans are moving through the area now as they work their way north and a variety of sparrows are appearing in the yards eating seeds and chasing each other. It makes for a much more active yard.
Fox Sparrow
Soon April will arrive and the weather will start to warm more. This in turn will entice the bugs to emerge and soon the warblers will move in to take advantage of the insect activity. As these changes occur keep in mind that there’s still time to plan a few birding or nature outings at the Huron Fringe Birding Festival. Registration for the festival is active now and although several of the events have already filled up there are a number of opportunities to go out with some excellent leaders and have a great time seeing some of these migrating birds.
Chestnut-sided Warbler
To see what events are still available, log in on the registration page and check out the various events to see how many spots are left in each.
Registration – Huron Fringe Birding Festival
Each morning and evening now our neighbourhood American woodcock does its display in hopes of attracting some attention so I guess some of the birds feel that spring has indeed arrived. We’ve also seen Canada geese on frozen ponds checking for a bit of a mound to start their nest on. It is surprising just how soon we see the first of their goslings following their parents around a pond. There also pairs of Sandhill cranes showing up in some fields and we even had the luck of seeing one trying to impress its mate with a mating dance. I’m not sure she was too impressed as you can see from the following photo.
Sandhill Cranes
Keep an eye on the Birdcast migration radar sight and check eBird to see how many migrants are on the way and which ones to expect first. Even common birds are exciting to see when they are the first to appear this season. There are so many digital tools that help with identifying birds now and instead of carrying rather bulky bird guides in the field most of those guides are available as apps for a phone or pad. The nice things about the bird guide apps in that when taxonomic changes occur, they are updated on the app quickly versus having to buy a newer guide. Many people have cell phones now so its quite easy to have multiple bird guides and the other handy apps available in your pocket.
A bird we always enjoy seeing arrive is the Ruby-throated hummingbird. It arrives a bit later but its always good to have the feeder ready to put out when they are getting closer to the area. Here’s a map that shows the latest sightings of those small birds aa they work their way north.
Remember when mixing up the nectar for the feeder to use 4 parts water to 1 part plain granulated white sugar (not brown, unrefined or artificial sugars). In this area in the past seven years they have showed up the first week of May so get ready!
We’re looking forward to those days when those bright little warblers are flitting through the trees trying to catch as many bugs as possible but presently, we can go out and see some Ross’s geese, Wilson’s snipe, Tundra swans, Eastern phoebes, and several other species that are appearing now. Make sure to check out the festival so you have some exciting times later in May but get out now and see what surprising birds are hiding under a bush or coming to your feeder.
Happy Birding!!
Spring is Almost Here and the Migrating Birds are Arriving.
We finally made it to March and although the temperatures aren’t too springlike the sunshine sure is nice. There weren’t too many of these sunny days during the snowy winter months. With March arriving its time to test out your login to the Huron Fringe Birding Festival so you can be ready when the registration goes live on March 13th at 6:00 am.
Huron Fringe Birding Festival – Registration
You still have some time to check out the schedule of events, so you know what to chose on the 13th. I know it’s a tough decision as there are so many interesting events lead by so many qualified leaders, but you can read the leaders biographies and see what each event entails as well.
Some of the early migrants are already showing up in southern Ontario and will soon be streaming into the area when the weather warms. The warblers will take a bit longer as they need to have some bugs available to get their fat level restored for the final push to the north towards their breeding grounds. Of course, some of the warblers nest in this area but they still need the insects to restore the fat they used up in flying all the way from whichever part of the warm south they call home in the winter. Each new bird that shows up is a reminder of warm sunny days ahead and the opportunity to get our binoculars and cameras tuned up and ready to use.
Canada Warbler
Its always entertaining at this time of year to see your first American robin or Red-winged blackbird even though there will be hundreds and thousands of them to follow. Opening the door in the morning and getting treated to a robin’s song is always something to make a great start to your day. Often now when you open your door, you’ll hear the song of the Northern cardinal as they practice up but soon they will be joined by many more birds to make your early morning even more special.
American Robin
It’s also a good time to listen to some of the bird song on an app or a recording to help you be able to identify those birds that start your day out. Any of the online apps have this feature (Merlin bird ID, Sibley’s guide to birds, and iBird Pro to name a few). Many of the birds have a variety of songs and calls but learning one or two for each bird will certainly be a great help with the identification of birds you can’t see. This time of year the birds will be in their breeding colours and will be much easier to identify visually than they are during the fall migration.
Blackburnian Warbler
To have an idea when the birds will arrive you can call up Birdcast to see how many birds are making their way north through the United States. If you use EBird to keep track of your sightings you can go back to previous years to see when the birds arrived in your yard or favourite birding area. Surprisingly enough they arrive quite close to the same time each year depending a bit on what the weather is like. It always fun to see what you will be expecting in the yard or in your area in the coming week.
Take the next couple of weeks to get back into birding mode if you haven’t been out much in the winter as Spring starts on March 20th. But don’t forget that Huron Fringe Birding Festival registration starts on March 13th so get prepped for that special event.
The weather will soon warm up and the wind and rain will take care of this snow cover we’ve been building up over the winter. It is hard when you look at the ice covering the lakes to think about swimming in that water, but it will indeed happen by the time our birds are raising their families in summer. Time is marching along……be prepared!

Winter Birds while Waiting for Spring
The winter finches as well as other birds that spend the winter in this area have been showing up the past few weeks in various numbers. Even though the Huron Fringe Birding Festival committee has been thinking and planning for spring the rest of us should be out (on the safe days) enjoying the sights of some of these seasonal birds that we won’t see in the spring. Pine grosbeaks, Evening grosbeaks, Bohemian waxwings, Redpoll, Snowy owls, and Snow buntings are regularly being seen and heard in various areas of Bruce and Grey in various numbers.
Pine Grosbeak
Much of the harvest has been completed now so a drive in the rural area or a walk in the woods might just turn up some surprise to make it a special day. Even sitting along the lakeshore you can enjoy the winter ducks and possibly see a King eider or Barrows goldeneye if they happen to zip by on their way farther south or to the ocean. Common goldeneye, Bufflehead, and Long-tailed ducks can all be seen foraging in the water or flying by to find a new place for dinner. The one male Barrows goldeneye that makes Owen Sound Bay its winter home has returned for another season so its worthwhile dropping by there to see if you can catch a glimpse or a photo of this unique goldeneye species for this area.
Barrow’s Goldeneye
If you don’t mind travelling out of this area this is the time of year some rare species show up in Ontario and keep many birders entertained. Rufous hummingbirds, Townsends warbler, Black-throated grey warbler, Townsends solitaire, Yellow-throated warbler and Varied thrush to name a few have been seen the past week or so in various Ontario locations. Its good to keep an eye on your own yard though as you just never know what bird might pop by for a quick visit or a snack. A few years ago this Yellow-throated warbler dropped into our yard later in the fall to give us a surprise.
Yellow-throated Warbler
Spring and that special time when northward migration begins is only a few months away so make sure to mark your calendars as the schedule of events for the Huron Fringe Birding Festival is available to view mid December, which isn’t far away. You can have a good look at all the great events and plan which ones you want to possibly register for. What an uplifting thing to do when the snow is going horizontally past the windows! You have a bit of time to think about the events as registration doesn’t go live until March 13, 2026 but planning out your spring fun always puts a smile on your face, even through the snowiest times!
Huron Fringe Birding Festival – Registration
So……while you wait, go out in the car, on foot, by snowshoe, or any other means and enjoy what nature has to offer during a Bruce and Grey County winter. On some of our walks recently we’ve still seen caterpillars crawling, moths flying, and some of those winter birds trying to hide in the trees. Enjoy the winter season and enjoy nature and you’ll be surprised how quickly the time passes.
Snowy Owl
Another Festival Has Come to a Close
As the bird lists are added up and the signs and tents put away for another year it’s time to update you on the festival results. This year there were 186 species seen and/or heard during the two long weekends. Several of the all day events this year listed more than 100 species with the “Big Day” being the top one as I previously mentioned with 151. A total of 439 people got to enjoy the events this year with a combination of new and returning attendees.
Laughing Gull
Pictured above is one of the new species added to the festival list this year. Along with the Laughing gull, the Little gull and Western tanager were added to the list for species seen at festival events. Over the years on festival events 255 species have now been seen, which is quite a good number for this part of Ontario. I’m sure as weather patterns continue to evolve more southern species will begin to appear on the bird list at this time of year.
Chestnut-sided Warbler
As well as seeing birds many of us got introduced to new places in Bruce County to visit and see birds as well as flowers and other rather rare plants. The area has many species of orchids, some being quite small and hard to find but others although not numerous are quite beautiful as you can see from the Dragons Mouth in the photo below.
Dragons Mouth Orchid.
It’s always interesting that as soon as the festival is over planning starts for the next one. Feedback sheets are perused to see what improvements can be incorporated and events are looked at to see which new ones that might be possible. It’s a continual yearly process with many volunteer hours spent making it a memorable experience for all those coming to attend.
Indigo Bunting
Summer has now officially begun and the birds are busy carrying food for their young. Some of our robins are even carrying nesting material for probably their second family already. Enjoy the time ahead and all the enjoyable things that nature has to offer. Before you know it a whole new migration will begin as birds that don’t look quite like they did in the spring will begin to head south after raising their families. That’s the time to really practice your bird identification as they often aren’t singing and many of the warblers look quite similar. Shorebirds as well have a much more subdued appearance and will begin trickling south by mid July. Until then see what butterflies and flowers you can identify and input to iNaturalist. There’s always something to do to learn from and keep your skills honed up.
Rams Head Orchid
As the seasons progress I’ll probably be updating the blog but make sure to mark the calendar to keep some time open for the 2026 Huron Fringe Birding Festival. It’s surprising how quickly a year can go by but there are still lots of things in nature to enjoy between now and then. Have a great Summer!

The Birds are Cooperating and the Weather is Warming!
I must admit that the first weekend of the Huron Fringe Birding Festival was a real cool one! It’s a good thing the winter coats weren’t packed far away! The birds didn’t seem to mind though as the bird species count was up to 178 with a few more events to report in on Monday. Each of the events we were on was quite good and the leaders took the weather in their stride and made each event fun to be at. Even with the rain on Friday there were spots where the birds came out and entertained the participants with their great views. This Canada Warbler was the hit of our Friday event.
Canada Warbler
The rain stopped but you still had to wear some warm clothing as the weekend progressed but I’m sure next weekend will be a lot warmer 😉. The event “A Big Day” with Kiah and Alessandra leading set a new record with 151 species seen on one event alone. The 4 Little gulls seen on this event were a first for the festival. Every event had some highlights and despite the cooler temperatrures the birds showed up for the party. A Common nighthawk even gave a leader a flyby and then settled onto the shoulder of the road to continue its sleep .
Common Nighthawk
The cooler weather seems to have slowed the birds down a bit in their migration so along with the birds that will find territories here and raise a family some of the longer migrants were still around in numbers and ready to put on a show for the participants. Some of the shorebirds are still coming through with Ruddy turnstones and Black-bellied plovers searching the shorelines for food to fuel the last part of their journey north.
Ruddy Turnstone
So if anyone has missed out on the fun and wants to join in there are still a few spots left on some of the events on the second weekend. Take a look if you have some spare time as its always a great way to see some interesting birds and meet some interesting people.

Even being a amateur photographer you can capture some reminders of the festival to enjoy through the rest of the year. Give it some thought but …hurry…as the fun begins again on Thursday and runs until Sunday.

Migration is in Full Swing as the Festival Nears.
Even with the cooler temperatures the migration of birds is continuing, with many warblers arriving in the area dressed in their bright spring colours. Along with the regulars there are even some rather rare ones as Prairie, Kirtland’s and Yellow-throated have been seen or heard in Bruce County.
Blue-winged Warbler
The birders will be gathering on Friday to start the first events of the Huron Fringe Birding Festival and even though many events are full there are still some spots on excellent hikes for others who would like to join in. It’s always a wonderful birding and social event as people come to make new friends and renew old acquaintances while looking through the trees and fields for those elusive feathered friends!
As I sit down at the lake this morning in 4 C weather a small group of 5 Sanderling went by showing that shorebirds as well as the warblers and their other friends are migrating through the area as well. There have been at least 26 species of warblers seen in the county so far as well as 15 species of shorebirds including Willets. Hopefully some Whimbrel will be around as they head west to start their new families out. You just never know what might show up and it’s tough to look up, down, left and right at the same time but always worth it to catch a glimpse of that bird flitting through the trees or trying to hide in the grass.
Grasshopper Sparrow
I’m sure many of you have already been out enjoying the sights and sounds of nature as the trees come out in leaf and the wild flowers are opening to cover the floor of our forests. The lush green of everything this time of year gives me the urge to get outside and as an added bonus the birds are serenading us all the time we are out, no matter what the temperature. As it turns out the cooler temperatures this morning are keeping the black flies from interfering too much with me as I type this up.
We just went for a walk in the neighbourhood to warm up a bit and see what birds are around presently. In the 40 species we saw or heard, included were 18 species of warblers so there are a variety of birds in the area. With the cooler weather several of them will probably be sticking around trying to eat what they can until favorable winds take them farther north. As I sit here typing the bugs are coming out more as the temperature rises a bit.
Scarlet Tanager
If you have some friends interested in the birds or other facet of nature let them know there’s still time to sign up and go on an event at the festival.

Hope to see many of you there to meet or to renew your friendship.

Spring has Arrived….Almost!
As is usually the case for Spring in Bruce County it depends on what day you write a blog as to whether it really looks like Spring outside! I was tempted to write on a nice day but decided to enjoy the warmth and sunshine while it was here. Thus, as I write this edition to the blog the snowflakes are once again sifting past the windows with a possible 10 cm in the forecast. The one thing the weather can’t dampen is the enthusiasm of the people thinking of the warmer days ahead and scrambling to sign up for an event or for several during the Huron Fringe Birding Festival in May and June.
There are 36 events presently full but still some interesting ones with space left for folks to join in the fun. Check over the schedule and see where the available spots are and think about coming out to enjoy the outdoors and make some new friends with similar interests.
Huron Fringe Birding Festival – Schedule of Events
Depending on the weather patterns in the area the birds are on the move heading north from their southern wintering grounds. Some have to travel farther than others so although there are already migrating birds coming into the area there are many more to come yet. Once the weather warms enough for insects to emerge more of the warblers and other insect eating birds will be heading our way. If you want to keep an eye on the daily migration here’s a link to the Birdcast map.

Blackburnian Warbler will be arriving from South America
For those of us that have great memories…..but possibly a bit short, eBird is a great place to put your birding data into and call it up days or even years later to see when you saw specific birds or when birds are scheduled to arrive. There’s a phone app as well as a site for a desktop computer that you can access to quickly input what you see, or transfer information later if you just make a paper list in the field. Most of the hike leaders input the bird lists to eBird and can share the list with you if you ask them.
Some owls and Common ravens have already started nesting and there are certainly signs of gulls, American robins and other newly arrived birds pairing up to get ready for a new family. We’re always looking forward to seeing our first colourful warblers that have been spending their time in the warmth of the south start to show up in the trees in the yard. Even if they don’t sit still long enough for a photo most times you can still appreciate their varied colours and shapes as you follow them with your binoculars. April, May and June are the months to see most of the newly arrived birds before they settle in to start a family. Some of those we have fleeting glimpses of as they pass through and head to the far north of Canada while others pick a territory and start to guard it from others of its species. It’s time to spend time outside or watch out the window for the newly arrived visitors to your yard.

Hopefully April will bring some warmer weather so the insects emerge to help feed the birds that are already here as well as entice more to arrive. As you get thinking about Spring more, go outside and see what flowers are emerging from under the snow. The Snowdrops are already coming out in bloom at the Kincardine sewage lagoon. When you’re inside check out the festival schedule and see if you can find an interesting event with a couple of spaces left. Its great to enjoy something you love to do with others of similar interests. Hope to see you at the festival!

Spring is Almost Ready to Spring!
Even as I look out at the several feet of snow still in the yard the sunshine today reminds me that Spring and the Spring migrants will soon be trying to work their way north to their breeding grounds once again. If you look at some eBird lists from Ohio and Indiana thousands of water birds are staged ready to venture north once some habitiat appears out of the snow and ice. Even with large snowbanks along the roads Horned larks are appearing along the sides of the roads and in the bare parts of the fields.
If you haven’t already checked out the Huron Fringe Birding Festival its time to see what events are being held this year as registration starting on March 14th is quickly approaching. On these cold days nothing could be better than thinking about these Spring events and all the birds that will be arriving dressed in their bright mating colours. Leaders with years of experience in birding and nature related topics are all set to take you on an adventure you’ve dreamed of all winter. Even if birding isn’t your main interest there are events that will take you different directions and teach you about the topic of that particular event.
Huron Fringe Birding Festival – Schedule of Even
Showy Lady Slipper
As I throw another log on the fire and stare out on a beautiful sunny but cold day I see the buds on the trees starting to get larger, just waiting for those warmer days to burst forth to start another growing season. The Blue jays are beginning to bring food to their mate and strengthen the bond they will need while raising a new family. Early in the mornings I can often hear the Northern cardinals practicing their song and soon that along with the song of the American robins will welcome you to the start of another day. The regular winter birds are still coming to the feeders but soon other species will be sneaking in as they move north and use the feeders until more of the regular habitat emerges from the plentiful snow we’ve had this year.
Cedar Waxwing
By the time the festival events begin there will be many bright birds working their way through the trees looking for insects, grubs, seeds and other food to fuel them on their annual Spring migration adventure. It’s a great time to make new friends, renew older friendships and enjoy the beauty that nature has to offer us. It’s time to make sure your binoculars, camera and spotting scope are all cleaned up and ready to help see those distant birds. Get your lunch kit ready if you’ll be taking in any of the all day events and have those hiking shoes all ready to go for a wander through the beautiful spots the leaders will be treating you to.
Cape May Warbler
I’m sure most of you that follow this blog will have March 14th already marked on your calendar but for any of you that are new to birding and looking for some excellent events this festival is one you won’t want to miss. This is the 27th Huron Fringe Birding Festival and they just keep on getting better so come on out and enjoy the fun and camaraderie with others of similar interests. Looking forward to seeing many of you returning for another year as well as many new faces ready to join in and get to appreciate what this area has to offer.
Our Mascot the American Redstart
Winter is Just Around the Corner
As I sit here typing, the wind is blowing and making the house creak a bit. The rain is hitting the windows but soon that rain will change to snow and a different birding season will arrive. As the snow covers the ground whatever birds are around will come more often to bird feeders and places that the snow doesn’t build up to cover their food source. The Dark-eyed juncos, Pine siskins, Northern cardinals and of course the Black-capped chickadees will become more noticeable.
Evening Grosbeak
Soon, the other winter birds that come south if their northern food source isnt available will show up in the area. Bohemian waxwings will flock around any fruit or berry source, Evening grosbeaks could visit your feeder eating up many of your sunflower seeds. Pine grosbeaks and possibly Common redpolls might also show up if food in the north is limited. Its always a treat to see some of these birds that only show up at this time of year. Already this season Snowy owls have shown up in various locations and as far south as Virginia. Its hard to know how many might come to this area as there havent been many new birds born in certain breeding areas this past summer due to the low lemming population in the north.
Snowy Owl
Great Black-back and Glaucous gulls have moved down from the north, in small numbers so far, but I’m sure there are more to come. With eagle breeding season long past some of the eagles (Bald and Golden) have migrated south but some gather at Baie du Dore near the nuclear plant outlet to spend the winter searching there as well as along the shoreline and inland looking for for food. The eagles along the shore will be the Bald species as they prefer fish and ducks for their meals and the Golden will be farther inland as they prefer mammals and other carrion.
Bald Eagle
Despite it looking and feeling very much like the approaching winter, work is under way finalizing the program for the 2025 Huron Fringe Birding Festival. Even as the 2024 festival finished, works starts for the next year. Many plans and reservations have to be done far before the festival starts so the meetings started a few months ago to get the program set and work out any bugs in the plans. Volunteers working together spend many hours putting the festival together so make sure you mark May 23rd to the 26th and May 29th to June 1st 2025 on your calendars. It will be another great time to come out and enjoy the Spring birds as they again come this way.
American Redstart
Its nice to think of that warm sunny weather with lots of colourful birds coming back for our enjoyment but now is also a special time to go out and enjoy those winter birds I mentioned above. They will only be around during the winter months so get out, have a walk or drive and enjoy what nature has to offer this time of year.
I started this blog edition a few days ago and now the rain has turned to snow and quite a bit of snow at that. It has piled up to the point of highways being closed and people being fully occupied in snow removal. Birds are certainly coming to the feeders more often now and some of those winter birds have been trickling in and visiting some of the feeders on the Bruce/Saugeen Peninsula. So when you have time to relax keep your eyes on your feeders or the trees in the area in case one of those special birds from the west or the south gets blown off course. Even this time of the year you might see a “lifer”.
Townsends Solitaire
Enjoy the season if you are staying in the area or if you are heading out to a warmer location for a visit but don’t forget to mark those dates on your calendar for the 2025 Huron Fringe Birding Festival. Looking forward to seeing you there to compare notes on what you’ve seen over the winter months.
Seasons Greeting to all of you from the Festival Committees.

Fall to Winter Birding
The slower birding of summer is now behind us and even the confusing fall migration is beginning to ease up a bit. There are still a few birds arriving but most of the fall warblers are well on their way to warmer places for the winter. The distance many of these birds travel during migration is truly amazing. It’s not surprising that when habitat changes in various location along their route it greatly affects how successful their migration is. For example the Baird’s sandpiper I saw today will spend its winter thousands of kilometers to the south in southern South America. These birds can complete their 10000 to 15000 km trip in as few as 5 weeks so it’s no wonder we don’t see them in this area very long.
Baird’s Sandpiper
As the migrants move south we start to see some of our winter birds showing up in the yard. Dark-eyed juncos are now around in numbers as well as some American Tree sparrows, Snow buntings, Northern shrikes, and Rough-legged hawks. So although many of our colourful birds have departed we still have many to look for in the colder coming months. The new finch forecast is out and it gives a bit of an idea as to what Boreal birds might be coming south in search of food this winter as well.
WINTER FINCH FORECAST 2024-25 – FINCH RESEARCH NETWORK
It sounds like we might not see many Snowy owls again this year as the lemming population was again low this past summer.
Snowy Owl Update from the Arctic July, 2024 – YouTube
With fewer lemmings there were fewer Snowy owls nesting so no nice new crop of owls to go wandering in the winter. We might still get some of the regular ones back and a good place to check this out is on the Project Snowstorm webpage. Here you can see the progress of some of the owls that have had transmitters installed on them. Once the owls are back in cell range their travelling data is downloaded so we can see where they spent their time and if they might possibly head back south during this winter.
Snowy Owl research and conservation – Project SNOWstorm
The goose numbers have been increasing lately in the area fields as well as at any pond that still has water in it. Along with the regular Canada geese there are also Cackling geese as well as the odd Snow goose and Greater White-fronted goose. The odd time we’ll see a Brant in this area and in eastern Ontario a Barnacle or Pink-footed goose might show up. Even in the winter months if the ponds stay open you have a chance to see something special to catch your eye. Yesterday a Snow goose was at the Chalmers Pond (hotspot in ebird) and today a Greater White-fronted showed up there as well. Ebird is an excellent tool to use to see what birds are being seen in your area as well as where the hotspots are for the best chance of seeing those birds. Here is an example for Bruce county but by changing the location you can see what birds are being seen anywhere in the world.
Bruce, Ontario, Canada – eBird
As winter progresses Rough-legged hawks and Golden eagles will be a more common sight searching the fields for prey. Snow buntings will amaze us with their large flocks and aerial displays and maybe some Redpolls will venture into the area if they run low on food up north. It’s always interesting scanning the flocks of Snow buntings to see if you can pick out one or two Lapland longspurs that often accompany them.
Golden Eagle
As you plan your winter excursions it’s also time to mark up your planner or calendar so you are prepared for the spring of 2025 when the Huron Fringe Birding Festival registration occurs. March 14th 2025 is when registrations goes live but schedule of events will be available to download mid December. That will give you lots of time to pick the events you think you might enjoy and get prepared for registration.
Huron Fringe Birding Festival – Huron Fringe Birding Festival
As winter approaches and new birds appear I’ll try to put some more entries into this blog to let you know how things are going in Bruce and Grey Counties. Until then, enjoy the fall and winter birding seeing the unique species that we see at this time of year.
