Good morning, South Porcupine's Northern Wheatear (found on Sept 18) was still at the same general location near Porcupine Lake as of 8:45am this morning. (Day 7)
The bird is now feeding mostly in private backyards along the White Waterfront area. I have received permission from many of these homeowners to look in their yard but if you'd like to view this bird, don't hesitate to let me know and I would be happy to help you look in its usual spots and accompany you to the yards where we obtained permission if it's needed. Direction: South Porcupine is 10 km east of Timmins, 700km north of Toronto. The White Waterfront area is accessible at the end of Bloor avenue (free public parking). From there, walk northward and it could be in one of many backyards bordering White Waterfront Conservation Area. It was last seen this morning at 117 Huot street, South Porcupine (where the homeowner gave permission to look inside her fenced side yard) Roxane Filion South Porcupine (705)363-6568 -- Ontbirds and Birdnews are moderated email Listservs provided by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) as a service to all birders in Ontario.
