Hi ONTBirders:
At the feeders on Hilda Road this afternoon (12:30pm), a flock of 56 BOHEMIAN
WAXWINGS was present for a few minutes before dispersing to the north and west.
We also made a brief stop at Britannia Conservation Area, where we found five
CEDAR WAXWINGS feeding on berries on the east side of the ridge. Also feeding
on the berries were ten AMERICAN ROBINS which have been overwintering in the
area for some time.
Good birding!
Pat
DIRECTIONS: From Carling Avenue W., turn onto Rifle Road at the Connaught Rifle
Range. At the end of Rifle Road, turn right onto Lois Avenue, then right again
onto Hilda Road. The feeders are at the top of the hill.
To get to Britannia, return to Carling Avenue W. and make a left and follow for
several kilometers. Turn left onto Richmond Road, then left again onto Poulin
Avenue. Poulin becomes Howe, and at the stop sign turn right onto Britannia
and follow to the end. Turn right onto Cassels Street and park half a
kilometer down the road.
