The species count was better than my initial calculation from scanning the raw data, even though several reliable species were absent (common merganser, common loon, song sparrow and rose-breasted grosbeak). The surprises this year were mundane: mourning dove, Eastern phoebe, red-winged blackbird and Baltimore oriole—all familiar Ontario garden birds, but which rarely if ever appear in the mature forest along my route.
