MattR Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Some advice needed. I was in Toronto this weekend in my first trip to North America. I saw a bird that looked exactly like a Northern Mockingbird with very clear white patches on the wings and really long tail. It was too quick to fly away for me to photograph but I was convinced it was a Northern Mockingbird until I got home and read that they are only summer visitors to Canada. So I have two questions: 1. Are there some Northern Mockingbirds that overwinter in Southern Canada? 2. If not a Northern Mockingbird; then what? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKLland Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 There have been a lot of reports recently of Northern Mockingbirds in Toronto, so I thinks it’s safe to say that’s what you saw. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Cochrane Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 According to eBird, Northern Mockingbirds are fairly common in the winter in Toronto. The only other bird that would somewhat match would be Northern Shrike. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Fingers Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Probably an outdated reference. Birds move a lot sometimes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
