In the past week I went birding on the Canadian border, and took a trip into Canada. My species total is now 105 for my Big Year. This time of year presents the challenge of the thick foliage, and the fact that the birds aren't singing as much because most of them have had their young, and are not establishing a territory at this point. Below are the new species that I've seen in last week:
101. Gray Jay (Perisoreus canadensis) - Pine River, Minnesota/Ontario Border
102. Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) - Thunder Bay, Ontario
103. Philadelphia Vireo (Vireo philadelphicus) - Kakabeka Falls, Ontario
104. Wild Turkey (Meleagris galloping) - Neebing, Ontario
105. American White Pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) - Neebing, Ontario
