New Birds
We went searching for new birds in Prince Albert National Park. We certainly heard new birds, but were unable to identify most of what we heard. Here are three we did identify. The first we did by sight, but then confirmed with a recording of its voice.
The Alder Flycatcher.
This one was in the grass along a path when Ray passed by. It waited patiently till I caught up, then flew up into a tree for a photo shoot.
The Spruce Grouse.
We went north hoping to see woodpeckers. We saw three species, this was the only new one, but we were fortunate to see it three times, Ray and I each glimpsed it once separately, then we were together when it stuck around for photos.
The Black-backed Woodpecker.
We were looking for new warblers as well, but that is another story entirely. Maybe next time.

Nice! Where did you stay or were you camping?
Hi, Dianne,
We stayed in a small cabin at Land of the Loon. Did you know the restaurant burned down a couple of years ago? It is very sad. We drove into PANP and spent most of two days there. Birding was good at Anglin Lake, too, so it worked well for us.
