Ontbirds subscribers, The well-documented adult female Rufous Hummingbird, present since November 5th, is still visiting a feeder in Oakville up to the present hour.
This posting is to announce one final public viewing opportunity to enable winter listers and those who could not attend during the prior viewing period a last chance to see the bird from the garden of Ebrahim and Karalee Patel. Ebrahim Patel and I will be welcoming guests to see the bird from 12 noon until 2:00 p.m. tomorrow, December 5, 2021 Please wear a mask and be certain to sign the guest book for public health contact tracing purposes. Do not bring a tripod or flash as they will not be permitted. Cameras and monopods are fine to bring. Please do not park on Woodhaven Park Drive - please park at the parking lots of Coronation Park which are roughly 200 metres from the house. The bird is visiting feeders at 129 Woodhaven Park Drive, adjacent to the Sedgewick Forest Park. Hoping to see many happy birders tomorrow.
