The Eurasian Collared Dove was perched atop the spruce tree on the north east corner of Fifty Road and Ridge Road this morning at 8:40 a.m.. Thanks to Stu Mackenzie for this excellent find!
Directions as per Stu Mackenzie: Take the QEW to Fifty Rd., and head south toward the Niagara Escarpment. Fifty Rd. ends at Ridge Rd. on the top of the escarpment where it turns into Eleventh Rd. The bird is located at this intersection. It likes to sit on any of the adjacent wires, the chimney of the red brick house on the south-east corner, his neighbors tv antenna, and sang from the top of the tall spruces on the north east side. The bird is quite active, singing fairly regularly and performing flight displays. Cheers, Cheryl Edgecombe
