On Sunday, Nov. 23 Iain Rayner located and photographed a Townsend's Solitaire se of Bailiebors, south of Peterborough. The bird was relocated this morning by Scott Gibson, Drew Monkman, Jim Cashmore and Martin Parker.
The bird was on the north side of Hannah Road, in the tree line/hedge row to the west of the driveway with civic address 158. We observed the bird from the roadway. It was seen in a tree at the edge of the tree line then flew to the lawn area and then back into the shrubs. On Sunday it was photographed on the south side of Hannah Road. This road is the dividing road between Peterborough and Northumberland Counties. Directions: >From Peterborough - take Peterborough County Road #28 south through the hamlet of Baileboro. Hannah Road is the first left south of Bailieboro. Follow Hannah Road to the first intersection, Evertson Rd. The location with the Townsend's Solitaire was just west on this intersection on both sides of the road. >From Port Hope - take Northumberland County Rod #28 north from Port Hope. Hannah Road is a right turn after one passes the two entrances to Bewdley and the western end of Rice Lake. One on Hannah Rd see the instruction above.
