[Ontbirds](Ottawa) Dark-eyed Junco 'Oregon form'

[Ott User]

Hi.
      The Dark-eyed Junco 'Oregon form' originally reported (assuming this 
is the same one) by Bev McBride on Nov. 12th is still at the Fletcher 
Wildlife Gardens (FWG) late this afternoon.  Link to photo below (taken in 
low light so excuse the less than ideal quality).  It was seen late this 
afternoon along with the other Dark-eyed Juncos at the feeders just behind 
the Interpretive Centre.  Two other birders had seen it just earlier at the 
other feeder (as was reported yesterday).
      A flock of 80+ Bohemian Waxwings spent the afternoon at the FWG. 
Earlier a solo Cedar Waxwing was seen as well.  Spotted another large flock 
(80+) yesterday at the parking lot at Lakeside Gardens/Britannia Beach. 
They were feeding on some of the berry trees there.
      A Northern Shrike was chasing after birds at the FWG yesterday and one 
was seen today along March Valley Road.
