A White-winged Scoter was in the Whitby Harbour, west of the Pringle Creek
bridge on Brock St.S. in Whitby in the mid-AM hours
A gorgeous sunny morning brought at least 70 people to Hall's Rd. in the
morning of Dec.5. Along the north pathway, and later along Hall's Rd., a
BARRED OWL was perched.
House Finches abound at the feeding station near the roadside entry to the
north pathway.
Several of us on the platform enjoyed the aerial cavorting of an adult
N.Shrike, trying to chase down a Tree Sparrow.
Between 0830 and 1130 I saw Goldie 7 times, always coming out to feed on
pathway millet not far from the platform. Indeed, twice I saw him come out
unaccompanied; otherwise he tended to appear with 3 White-throated Sparrows.
Visitors today came from "all-over", including New York State, Stratford,
Scarborough, Etobicoke and even Toronto!!!
Thanks to all who assist those who are anxious to see this bird, a lifer for
so very many.
I shall continue daily reports as long as I can get down there.
From the west exit 401 at Salem Rd. (in Ajax), south to Bayly, east through
LakeRidge Rd. to the first street (Hall's Rd.), south to the FIRST roadside
parking area (REMEMBER THAT IF GOLDIE DOES NOT SHOW ALONG THIS PATH HE MAY
HAVE RETURNED TO THE SOUTH PATH). From the east exit 401 at Brock St.
(Whitby), south to Victoria, west to Hall's Rd.
