Barb Charlton and I managed to see the earlier reported White-winged Dove this evening at about 7:35 pm. We first heard it call a few times at about 7:15 from a large silver maple tree in the yard behind 4 Mississauga Rd. but only saw it about 20 minutes later when it flew through the yard towards the south. We then located it sitting in a tree in the front yard right at the intersection of Mississauga Rd. and Old Coach Rd. as it called frequently.
Directions from Kayo Roy: The residence is at 4 Mississauga Road, St. Catharines. The homeowner has graciously offered birders access as far as the backyard gate on the left side of the residence. He has asked that birders not go beyond this gate onto the back porch or into the backyard. Most of the yard is visible with little obstruction from this gate. >From the QEW, take the Niagara Street exit in St. Catharines and go north on Niagara Street. Immediately over the QEW Highway at the first lights, the road forks with Vine Street going to the left, and Niagara Street to the right, with a Sunoco gas station in the middle of this fork. Take a left here onto Vine Street and at 4.1 km you will be at the lights at Lakeshore Road. Continue north through the lights another 2/10ths of a km to the first street on your left, Old Coach Road. Turn left here and go two streets on your right to Mississauga Road, house #4.
