I saw a most unusual bird in my backyard today but I can't figure out what it is. I used this site to search but it crashed and I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Because of Hurricane Sandy, I think it may be farther north than usual. I live north of Guelph in Ontario.

Awesome birds!! They're evening grosbeaks. It's quite the opposite - they're northern birds who are coming farther south than usual, along with a bunch of other northern birds. I'm eagerly hoping to see some.

here they normally stay in the higher elevations in good weather but move down into the foothills and valleys when its too snowy They nest here in early spring and sometimes a second brood later in the summer or early fall. they seem to eat mostly seeds and nuts but like sunflower seeds best.. The ones around here don't migrate south in winter but do change elevations with weather or climate changes.
