    Woah. Absolutely stunning video. Just magnificent. I’d watch you guys in a Netflix series any day. What footage 😮

      Well that's quite the compliment, Kate. Do you have their number? 😂 Seriously though, that's a very kind remark and one that, amongst several others we've had over the months, feels very touching. Thanks ☺️

    Ok now I have to go on Spruce bog trail in winter. Your video of snow falling and white winged crossbills was magical! ❤

      Algonquin is beautiful all year, but this was a particularly nice scene for sure.

    Wonderful video - well done in the snow! I loved the close view of the ravens - I see them around but not like that. Very enjoyable

    A truly enjoyable video, with great story telling. I like the use of some drone and slow-motion footage.

      Thanks a lot Keith, really appreciate the comment and support.
      This isn't being nit-picky at you in the slightest Keith and isn't meant to publically correct you. I just want to publicly say that I don't own a drone and didn't use one. They're not allowed in Ontario Parks and rightly so. Just incase Ontario Parks Lawyers are watching! Or any other UA-camrs feel emboldened to use one where they shouldn't!
      I used creative filming and editing techniques to create the appearance that I used one. But my camera was quiet, stationary and not flying.

      I didn’t realize how you got that effect. Thanks for correcting me, now I know. Keep up the great work.

    So jealous of your boreal finds. I was able to get Bohemian Waxwings and Pine Siskins. The Redpolls elude me. Love that you get regular sightings of the Evening Grosbeaks and White Winged Crossbills. Was able to get Red Crossbills beginning of the year. There's been a flock sticking around all winter. Trying for 265 with 300 as the top this year. Only Wisconsin birds though. Loved the Spruce Grouse, so pretty. Great video!

      Good luck Sarah and thanks for the comment. Excellent with the Bohemians! I've never seen them. A few cropped up an hour or so away from Algonquin while we were there, but we were committed to the park. Lots of them cropping up in The UK this year, I've been hearing. A bumper crop of tree berries drawing them in 😊

      Thanks Dave, appreciate it.
      Sounds like a good reason to return to a great park. That'll be our excuse for the woodpecker 😊

    • @BritHikesOntario
      @BritHikesOntario  10 місяців тому

      Yeah, that was the best view I've had of a Spruce Grouse to date 😊 Thanks for the comment 👍

    Super video. Getting up to Algonquin in a couple of weeks. Those roads still look awful! Hoping for grouse as I’ve never been lucky enough to find one.

    • @BritHikesOntario
      @BritHikesOntario  10 місяців тому

      Thanks bud. Hope you have a good time up there. The Grouse I saw was just outside the car park where Opengo and a logging road split. I've also seen them on Spruce Bog a couple of times in the past.

    Another great video! Sara, great job of spotting the Pine Martin, looks like he was licking his chops. We need snow in Alberta, it’s above seasonal and everything is melting.

    • @BritHikesOntario
      @BritHikesOntario  10 місяців тому +1

      Hey Tracy, thanks a lot. Weather has been quite mild here, too. 4°C here today, very unusual. Something I was going to mention in a video at some point is how that is affecting our bird challenge. For example, no Snowy Owls turning up in reliable spots around the city this year.

      Thanks Bruv. Reckon he nicked some peanut butter the way it was licking its lips!

    Nice footage of pine martin.sue and I saw one up Scotland by loch Lomond few years ago, it stood up on its rear legs looking at us.they are reintroducing them back in to Wales and parts of england and they seem to be doing quite well.

    • @BritHikesOntario
      @BritHikesOntario  10 місяців тому

      Thanks Dad. Now Sara wants us to track down a Fisher.
      No jokes about fishing, please!

    Fantastic video! Loved seeing that beaver and such a thrill seeing the spruce grouse. I have never seen one, how gorgeous was that male?! And the marten! Such a treat to see it AND capture it for us. Super cute face, I have to admit. And what a finish! I know you didn't get to see the black-backed woodpecker (yet) but the raven interaction was a spectacular capture - I envy you being able to see these intelligent, fun corvids so closely - AND a lifer with the common redpoll. Great visit to Algonquin and thanks for sharing it with us. Lovely seeing the snowy landscape with all its wintry wildlife. You guys are the best!

    I keep meaning to get up that way - I have never been there. I love those northern forests, but so far my experience has been in the Adirondacks, Maine, and the northern part of the lower peninsula of Michigan. I have been to the Carden Alvar, and should make a trip to revisit there and Algonquin this summer.

    • @BritHikesOntario
      @BritHikesOntario  10 місяців тому

      Certainly a great place to visit. Cardan Alvar is also excellent. I imagine we will be there this year, too. Thanks for the comment!

    Beautiful footage guy’s the Pine Marten and Raven interaction was awesome.
    Thank you again for a fun day in the Park, Algonquin never disappoints 😊 hopefully we can do it again sometime soon.

      Thanks Rick, was a great trip. I'll let you know if we are up your way and you should give us a shout if you're near the city sometime.
