Martin and Kathy Parker and Jerry Ball from Peterborough travelled to North
Bay to see the White-winged Dove today. They were joined by Fred Pinto and
Mary Young of North Bay.
They finally stopped the bird about 3:00 p.m. in the afternoon behind 1556
Pinewood Crescent in North Bay. The bird was sitting on a branch of an oak
tree and was very visible.
The owner of the house, Peter Mlden, commented that the bird usually shows
up about 3 in the afternoon and sits in the tree. It is clearly visible
from the roadway. Mladen does allow you to enter the backyard by the
sidewalk on the west side of the house.
Mladen did not see the bird yesterday but according the owner it was behind
1532 Pinewood Crescent all afternoon yesterday, Thursday.
The bird likes perching in view when the sun is shining and today the sun
can out just before 2 p.m.
The bird was featured in our birding column in the North Bay Nugget today so
the neighbourhood is aware of the bird.
