It's a bitterly cold Sunday morning, fellow birders; the kind of wind that makes your eyes water. More good news to report, I've just spent an hour watching Mr. P. actively feeding, vocalizing and capturing the early morning, sun rays. He was quite busy devouring the rose hips, clearly his preference compared to the buckthorn berries. Once again, I was fascinated by his ability to harvest the rose hips at the extreme end of some very thin branches; they must be better tasting/riper for he will forego the hips that are closest and easiest to pluck. Mr. P. was sighted in 'his territory' in the backyard adjacent to # 20 Ascot, where Sue welcomes everyone into her backyard. Shirley at # 8 Aberdeen continues to do the same. They are super people. Good luck and good birding. Directions:401 to 410 north, exit Steeles Ave. east, turn north onto Dixie Rd, turn east onto Birchbank, turn north onto Avondale Blvd., turn east onto Addington, turn north onto Ascot, turn east onto Aberdeen, # 7 Aberdeen is the location of the log/guest book, coffee etc. Dian P.S. to Barb in Ottawa, thank you very much, I did finally find come untreated mistletoe and berries ( a very small amount) but although strategically placed in a favourite, spot they have been untouched. Thank you again. _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live: Make it easier for your friends to see what you’re up to on Facebook. http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9691816_______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
