This morning there was a single Merlin, likely a female, on the north side of Lake Victoria in Stratford. The bird was sitting in the top of a willow tree attracting the ire of local nuthatches and chickadees. Hopefully it will stick around for Monday's CBC. Steve Thorpe Lake Victoria is in the centre of Stratford. From Ontario Street (Hwy 7/8) drive north on Waterloo Street then turn right on Veterans Drive just before the bridge. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
