My apologies; You may be receiving this message a second time. I have done very little bird-reporting lately, and may have selected a wrong e-mail address the first time.
On the morning of Jan.13 I led a caravan of cars with 16 members of the Pickering Naturalists from southwest Pickering to the vicinity of Claremont CA, stopping at various feeders en route. The lack of snow has not concentrated the birds at feeders. Among the 28 species noted over a period of 4 hours were 4 woodpecker species, including 1) a Pileated that was heard for 10 minutes while we watched him work on trees in a backyard overlooking the Rouge valley, and 2) a male Red-bellied Woodpecker in the backyard of a house across the street from 437 Churchwin St. in Whitevale-- Whitevale is just to the east of Altona Rd. on Concession 5--east of the bridge turn north on Mill St. to the first street (Churchwin).

Several other birders/photographers were there. Owl moves fairly frequently and if one is patient, often sits on fence posts on east side of road (toward open field). Directions: Hwy 5 and 105 north from Hull to Brennan's Hill - look for BH restaurant on left and turn left there onto McDonald. Continue 8 km to open field just past Legault on right side of road.
