Advertise on podcast: All Seasons Birding

In mid-March 2025 I visited Selkirk Provincial Park and found it full of song, despite it being late in the day.

In late 2024 I sustained a muscle injury that severely limited my outdoors activities, including birding. I started getting out to record by the end of January though. Here's some vignettes from those experiences.

In this recording we explore Old Cut, a bird banding research station in Long Point, Ontario.

In this recording I explore the Beverly Swamp CA during spring migration.

Here I explore Selkirk Provincial Park as the Yellow Warblers arrive en masse.

Migration is ongoing, and breeding season has also begun at Turkey Point, Ontario.

For this episode we hang out at a Bald Eagle nest, listening to the abundance of song around the nest and talk a bit about the resurgence of Bald Eagles in Ontario.

A walk along the Gypsum Mine Tract rail trail in Haldimand County, Ontario.

Here we explore a bit of Taquanyah Conservation Area, and have a long sit & listen.

It's mid-March and the winds may be a bit strong, but I manage to find some sheltered spots to record from. Recorded on a new Zoom H6essential.

It's early March of 2024, after a winter that had nearly no snow. While it may now officially be meterological spring, it seems like it's been spring already for quite a while. Recorded on a Zoom H6. And this might be the last one recorded on this device, newer episodes will be on newer recorders!

We continue the exploration of habitats in the mild winter of 2024, including even more Pine Siskin!

The winter of 2024 has been exceedingly mild in southern Ontario, with very few days of snow-cover, and temperatures often above freezing. However, there has also been an irruption of Pine Siskin -- a perfect opportunity to capture recordings of this species.

In late November 2023, I encountered a small flock of Red Crossbills.
