A little R and R is all that's needed...

On the weekend I returned from a whirlwind northern Ontario adventure that saw me travel from Waterloo on June 20th up to Rainy River (R and R...) for a day and a bit with Nathan Miller ahead of some dragonfly work we had secured with the MNRF near Thunder Bay.

With not too much time, Nathan and I traveled through the US, making it to Marquette, Michigan on our first night (June 20th), before arriving into Rainy River (R and R...) around 2pm on the Thursday (June 21st).

We quickly set about driving the 'good' areas around the area and were able to net pretty much all the expected prairie species that are typical to this area over the afternoon of the 21st and morning of the 22nd. We had some really interesting highlights:

- exceptional numbers of LeConte's Sparrows and Sedge Wrens, with cumulative trip totals of 67 and 108 individuals, respectively!!!

Sedge Wren briefly along the fenceline.

- good numbers of Clay-colored Sparrows (84) and Brewer's Blackbirds (88)
- Franklin's Gulls (500+), Yellow-headed Blackbirds (3) and American White Pelican's (110+) were also around, primarily near Lake of the Woods, by Harris Hill

- 3 Marbled Godwits including one at a new location (per eBird)
- 3 Sharp-tailed Grouse and 11 Western Meadowlarks throughout -- I love hearing these guys!





We also managed some decent rarities for the area too:
- the first Meadowlark we heard was an Eastern! I couldn't believe it! I got a really crappy shot of it here: https://ebird.org/canada/view/checklist/S46703582



Best of all was a male Dickcissel that we found nearby! https://ebird.org/canada/view/checklist/S46709291



With our whirlwind trip to Rainy River (R and R...) we motored onto Thunder Bay for close to a week conducting dragonfly surveys (I'll post about this in a few days).

    1. Hello everybody, I am Wilona Walker currently living in Texas U.S.A. I am a widow at the moment with three kids and i was stuck in a financial situation by September 2017 and i needed to refinance and pay my bills and start up a Business. I tried seeking for loans from various loan firms both private and corporate but never with success, and most banks declined my credit. But as God would have it, i was introduced to a man of God by a friend named Morgan Steev and i got a loan sum of $600,000.00 and today am a business owner and my kids are doing well at the moment. So my friend, if you must contact any firm with reference to securing a loan with low interest rate of 2% and better repayment plans and schedule, please contact Mr Herman Cein (Bradleyabbottloanfirm@gmail.com) He doesn’t know that am doing this but am so happy now and I decided to let people know more about him, He offers all kinds of loans to both individuals and company and also i want God to bless him more. You can contact him through his email via: [ Bradleyabbottloanfirm@gmail.com.com] or you can also whatsapp unmber +2348069056122
