Hello Ontbirders A Tufted Titmouse has been coming to a feeder in the village of Hallville, South of Ottawa (within the Ottawa 50K). Although I did not see it this afternoon, Lorna Suffel, the property owner, has just advised me, it returned at 4:00pm. She says its been fairly regular throughout the day for the last 3 weeks. It seems to prefer a suet log containing a mixture of lard, dog food and peanuts.
Its coming to the back yard of 1676 Christina Cr. The Suffels are a shy elderly couple, but friendly. They agree to tolerate birder traffic into their back yard. However, they ask that visitors enter the yard by the east (right) side of the house, and that its best to stay near the pines in the back. Cheerio Tony Directions: *Take Hwy 416 south. *At Kemptville, take Hwy 43 east for approximately 10 kms. *Turn left onto Kerrs Ridge Rd and go one block. *Turn left onto Regional Rd One. *Shortly after turn left onto St. Johns Rd. *Turn right onto Christina Cr. (1676 Christina Cr.) *Park on the road and walk into the back yard as per above.
