On the morning of January 22 I was happy to be leading 6 carloads of Durham Field Naturalists on a bird feeder tour. By chance we came upon 40+ Bohemian Waxwings alongside Sideroad 4, just north of Concession 8, in north Pickering--they were actively feeding and chittering in the shrubs and small trees. Sideroad 4 is 2 roads west of LakeRidge Rd. A very active set of feeders at 2661 Sideroad 16 had 9 bird species, including Pine Siskin, House Finch and both Nuthatches. Traveling east from Brock Rd. along Conc.5 turn south at the first road--Sdrd.16-- go south to 2661. A light morph Rough-legged Hawk was seen above Westney Rd. north of Conc.7.
