This morning Rob Dobos, Dave Don and I relocated the Harris's sparrow that was reported on ebird earlier in the week. Up until now the bird has only been seen at a private residence. The bird was seen this morning near the stormwater pond on Kearns Road near Derry and James snow parkway. Access to Kearns is off Trudeau. Seed has been placed here and on the walkway in between 1623 and 1625 Gowlings Terrace. The bird was frequenting the cedars and with a group of juncos.
The bird was later refound by Mike Hallet in the cedars in the northeast corner of the stormwater pond. The stormwater is fenced off and is a construction site during the week. Cheryl, Dave and Rob Directions QEW to Bronte Road, to Derry Road and then east on Derry to just west of James Snow Parkway. Turn left on Trudeau and then right on Kearns. The stormwater pond is at the bend in the road. Thanks to Barb Charlton for the idea of the seed drop and to Ross Wood for getting that started!
