[Ontbirds] Red-headed Woodpecker, Vineland

2015-11-06 Thread Nancy Smith
Yes he is back at 3196 Campden Road.  This amazing bird raised 3 nestlings here 
alone after his partner was killed on the road. Six weeks ago he disappeared 
with them but has once again returned alone, possibly to spend his 3rd winter ( 
or is it the 4th ? ) with my neighbours, Marvin and Judy. 
QEW Niagara to Vineland, Victoria Ave (Reg 24) cut off. Go south through 
Vineland, up the escarpment to Fly Rd ( lights) go right , then turn left on 
Campden Rd. The house is just past Young St. on the right(west) side. He visits 
the tray feeders on the railing of the front porch. Please do not trespass.

[Ontbirds] Red-Headed Woodpecker -Vineland

2014-01-22 Thread David Pryor
Further to Nancy Smith's post from last December and Len Manning's sighting 
yesterday, the adult male red-headed woodpecker continues to show well at 3196 
Campden Rd. in Vineland.

The bird frequents both the porch feeders and the trees of the homeowner's 
woodlot. This species has been present for the past couple of years at this 
location and, according to Nancy's previous posts, has also apparently 
successfully bred here. 

The bird is easily seen from the road, please respect the homeowner and do not 
trespass. 

Directions:
QEW to Victoria Ave. in Vineland, exit and head south, through the town of 
Vineland, up the escarpment, turn right (west) at the light at Fly Rd. Continue 
into the village of Campden, then turn left (south) on Campden Rd. 
The house is the first one on the right,  past the corner of Campden Rd. and 
Young St.

[Ontbirds] Red-headed Woodpecker, Vineland, Jan 17th

2013-01-17 Thread Len M

Ontbirders,

Since this bird was not posted today, and we just got in from a day long 
birdathon, I wanted to advise that the previously reported RED-HEADED 
WOODPECKER at 3196 Campden Road in Vineland, was observed well this morning by 
Peter/Caleb Scholtens, Barry Coombs, Lisa Teskey, and I. We viewed it, not at 
the feeder, but in the adjacent woodlot on some mostly dead and de-barked 
trees. Props to Barry for getting us on the bird initially.What a beauty in the 
bleak winter setting!


Directions courtesy of, and thanks to Nancy Smith: QEW Niagara, exit Vicoria 
Ave. (Reg. 24) head south, up the
 escarpment to Fly Road ( stoplight ) turn right, then left on Campden 
Road.  The house is on the west side of Campden Road just south of Young
 Street. 3196 Campden.

Best,

Len Manning III, Esq.

Hamilton, ON

Hi Everyone:  The Red-headed Woodpecker continues to use the feeders on the 
front railing of 3196 Campden Road.  Patience is required but he (she) is quite 
visible from the road with binos.  PLEASE do not go down the driveway or 
trespass onto the property.   Thanks for your cooperation.

Hello and Happy New Year Everyone!   A Red-headed Woodpecker has been coming to 
my neighbour's feeder at 3196 Campden Road , Vineland, apparently for almost a 
week. I saw him for the first time this morning at about 8:30.   The feeder is 
easily seen with binos on the front railing of the home and now there is a 
hanging suet feeder as well.  The homeowners, Judy and Marvin  are friendly but 
not birders and do not want the bird disturbed so please observe only from the 
road.  This spot is just east of the Hamilton circle according to the great map 
provided by Peter Scholtens, but assuming his territory includes the small bush 
to the west of the house, he's probably sometimes a Hamilton bird!  lol
These birds did breed in this particular bush this past summer!  Enjoy!
