Went over to Howe Island this morning (Tuesday 29th October) and got the titmouse at about 8:30am. Seems to be associating with mixed flock of chickadees, kinglets, House Finches and American Goldfinches.
Directions as listed below. Please respect the privacy of the house owners and stay on the public road. Mark Read Date: Sun, 27 Oct 2013 17:30:11 -0400 From: "Sharon E. David" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Subject: [Ontbirds] Tufted Titmouse still around: Howe Island (Kingston) Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I found the Tufted Titmouse at 5PM at my neighbor's place 3 houses down from mine (#116). Their platform feeder is easily observed from the road and they are used to birders. The bird is now here at least a week, and I suspect as most of the birds here that it may be travelling between my home and theirs. Feel free to park in the parking area across from my home (#80) next to the gray car shelter and walk along the road. We also have resident Red-bellied Woodpecker.
