Bob Cermak found the solitaire this morning at 7 Millbrook Cres. It was still present here from about 12:30 to 1:00, showing exceptionally well. It usually perched in prominent positions at the tops of trees but occasionally took berries in the small conifer at the front of the house (left-hand side), where it was much less conspicuous.
Francine Streeting, who originally discovered the solitaire back on the 21st, mentioned that, surprisingly, an adult Northern Goshawk was also in the area. We gathered that the conifers at the corner of Greenwich and Deer Park were a favourite perch, particularly "in the evening". Directions: Millbrook is off Deer Park Rd which in turn is off Meadowlands (north side), just west of the Fisher intersection. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
