Barron Canyon Rd. Falls: Ontario Waterfalls
Barron Canyon Rd Falls, Ontario
This is one of three waterfalls I have found in Ontario that I have never seen listed elsewhere. This is a nice plunge type of falls that I heard by the side of Barron Canyon Rd. while doing a bit of exploring in the eastern section of Algonquin P.P. one early spring. It may well be seasonal.
GPS Location: N 45º 53.686′ W 77º 39.588′
Warning: It can be dangerous to view and photograph waterfalls. The footing can be wet and slippery, and an accidental fall can result in serious injury or death. Note also that many sections of waterfalls are on private property. Please respect these rights.

Spruce Grouse, Falcipennis canadensis
One of my favorite trails at Algonquin Park is the Spruce Bog Trail. There is a boardwalk over typical northern bog after passing through a stand of Black Spruce. It is a great place for birds such as Gray Jay, Boreal Chickadee, Alder Flycatcher and Black-backed Woodpecker.
I was walking through the stand of Black Spruce when something large wizzed past my head, settled on the ground and gave me a beady eye. It was a male Spruce Grouse who had apparently considered me an intruder. It looked fabulous with the bright red on its head gleaming in the dark forest floor.
The picture below is a female with three chicks which was taken in Quebec.

Moose from Algonquin
Algonquin Park is a wonderful place to see wildlife and one of the most spectacular animals to be found there is the Moose.
One of the surprises on first seeing this animal is its sheer size, it is truly awe inspiring.
They can be seen at any season in Algonquin.

Diving Blue Jays
Blue Jay
One very cold morning on a deserted Algonquin side road. I put some shelled peanuts out in the hopes of attracting some Gray Jays. They did come along for a few minutes but were soon forced out by a dozen aggressive Blue Jays.
While sitting in my car, I tried to get photos of them as they dove from the tree branches to the pile of peanuts below. My success rate was very low, 1 or 2 in a hundred, but I was pleased to get a few I liked.
