With the unusual number of early Pomarine Jaegers already documented from Lake
Superior I wonder if we can make other predictions for this winter. Poms
apparently will forgo nesting in years of low lemming nos. becoming nomadic
through late summer and perhaps moving south earlier than usual. Were not all
of the photos so far of Poms of adults, subadults and not juvs? Will this then
be a big winter for Snowys? We have already had a few Goshawks here- what is
the status of Grouse populations?

Ontario ornithologist Ron Pittaway has released his new finch forecast for this
coming winter (2010-2011).
As he notes in his forecast: "Forecasts apply mainly to Ontario, but
neighboring provinces and states may find they apply to them." In other words,
his forecast may be of interest to birders in the Great Lakes states.
I've excerpted the pertinent parts of his report on my blog:
