Hi Ontbirders, A WESTERN KINGBIRD is spending its second day along the Ottawa River in downtown Pembroke. It can be seen along the Kiwanis Walkway in front of and also east of the contruction site of the new Miramichi Lodge. The vacant field on the east side of the construction is a favourite perching and flycatching territory for it and also in the riparian zone along the river. It flies up frequently to return to the same or a different perch. It may sit still for a little while, though, so allow some patience time.
Access the walkway either by walking west from the westend of the west parking area at the marina or walking east from the parking area at Riverside Park. There is a tourist booth across from the 'Irving Big Stop' at Hwy 41/17 if you need a map or directions. Basically, head for Pembroke St West., which follows the river. Good Luck, Chris Michener Golden Lake [EMAIL PROTECTED] Region 26 Coordinator Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas http://www.birdsontario.org/atlas/atlasmain.html Pembroke Area Field Naturalists: http://www.renc.igs.net/~cmichener/pafn.index.html [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Chris) Visit http://www.ofo.ca/ontbirdsguide.htm for information on leaving and joining the list.
