The Bullock's Oriole was present again today, feeding in its favourite
apple tree at the SW end of Dalkeith Street. I observed it twice between
about 11:30 AM and 12:00 NOON. It flew into the tree and moved around
from apple to apple, apparently eating the juicy decaying fruit in a
number of the hanging apples, for about 5 minutes before flying off
towards the town where there are other apple trees. After its first
departure it returned again after about 15 minutes.
Bullock’s Oriole directions: From Ottawa take Hwy 417 west to Kinburn
Side Road. After exiting turn left and follow to CR 29. Turn left and as
you enter the village of Pakenham watch for Waba Road on your right.
Turn right and then left on Dalkeith St.
