Hello and Happy New Year Everyone! A Red-headed Woodpecker has been coming to my neighbour's feeder at 3196 Campden Road , Vineland, apparently for almost a week. I saw him for the first time this morning at about 8:30. The feeder is easily seen with binos on the front railing of the home and now there is a hanging suet feeder as well. The homeowners, Judy and Marvin are friendly but not birders and do not want the bird disturbed so please observe only from the road. This spot is just east of the Hamilton circle according to the great map provided by Peter Scholtens, but assuming his territory includes the small bush to the west of the house, he's probably sometimes a Hamilton bird! lol These birds did breed in this particular bush this past summer! Enjoy!
Nancy Smith RR#l Campden Rd., Vineland Directions: QEW Niagara, exit Victoria Ave. ( Reg. 24 ) head south through Vineland, continuing up the mountain, at the light turn right on Fly Road then left on Campden Road. The house is on the west side of Campden Road just south of Young Street. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
