It has usually been seen before 9 am and after 4 pm, but was also seen today around noon. It is at the home of Richard Boughner and the feeder is in the back yard, not visible from the road. Richard wants anyone who wants to see the bird to knock at the front door and he will let them get to the back yard through the garage. Directions: From Ottawa take Highway 7 west to Carleton Place, turn right at the traffic light by Canadian Tire onto McNeely Avenue and continue on McNeely until you cross the Mississippi River and reach the T-junction at County Road 29. Turn left onto County Road 29 (Town Line East) and then turn left just before the railroad track onto William Street. Turn left off William Street just before the railroad track onto Gemill which becomes Rosamond Street when it bears right. The feeder is at 169 Rosamond Street, on the right.
