Had a Titmouse in the yard today...
Not expected...
Did a quick search of eBird, and found several other "new" records - somewhat north of their normal range - in the last week or so....

There have also been several recent records at places where they aren't normally around -

So - keep your eyes peeled for titmice!! Perhaps this is a good time to look for Carolina Chickadees too? (Who knows?)
Rare bird weather is full-steam-ahead (see previous post) --- sooner or later a dynamite bird is going to be found. Will it be you?
They were certainly on the move last week. I had a couple others in spots I do not usually see them!
ReplyDeleteOne was reported up here the other day, just east of Cornwall, they're rare locally.
ReplyDeleteHad one here in my yard in Paris, Ontario.
ReplyDeleteNever had one here before.
