Fellow Birders:
After three hours of searching today, I finally caught up with this bird.
Many thanks to a Stratford birder for showing me the area. Today the bird
was foraging behind the mouth of the pond in a small woodlot which had a
wide open expanse behind it which contained one huge fallen log. The bird
was sallying back and forth from the woodlot and foraging in the leaf
litter. At one point, I had the bird in my scope at 40 feet eating what
appeared to be a centipede(?). The bird appeared very healthy and active.
Patience is a must. When I left at 2:40 pm I was the only person around; I
am sure though that more eyes will be looking over the weekend and the bird
will be found more easily.
Directions from Hamilton:
Hwy #6 South to Caledonia to Hwy #54
Turn left on Hwy #54 River Road to York
Cross the river at York
Continue along River Road to Indiana Road
Turn right on Indiana Road
1.9 km from the junction - park on the right
Cross the field to the pond and the woodlot behind
Patience and Good Luck,
Dave Don
