Like clock work, this morning November 21st, the Selasphorus hummingbird had by 0720, visited the backyard feeders three times. The homeowners, Art and Janice Haines continue to be amazed at the interest this bird is creating with birders in Ontario and New York State. They want me to let everyone know that the welcome mat remains for those who wish to visit.
Directions: Take the QEW to the Thorold Stone Road exit in Niagara Falls. Now turn left (east) to Dorchester Road, then right (south) one block to Pettit Avenue. Take a left here and continue for about 1/2 km to Sherwood Road (directly across from First Baptist Church on the right hand side). Turn left and proceed one block to Peach Avenue to 4579, the second or third house on your right.

But, in no case has a bird stayed for more than a short time in one place. Many Rough-leggedHhawks are present in farm fields both east and west. Also, at North Bay's "landfill site", Iceland Gulls are present (both first year and adult), and Glaucous should be arriving imminently. The landfill site is about 10 miles north of town. It is "friendily" accessible, except on Sunday, when it is locked. Dick Tafel, North Bay, 705 472-7907
