A bird identified as a great-tailed Grackle was seen late yesterday
afternoon in north St. Catharines. The bird is associating with a number of
Common Grackles and the group is moving around the backyards of a
residential area. The sighting yesterday was near the corners of Grantham
Road and Bessborough Road across the road from Grantham Road Park. If you
choose to look for the bird and are successful in refinding it, please
telephone one of the following with the details: John Black - 905-684-0143,
Alan Smith - 905-937-7891, Kayo Roy-905-892-4433.
Directions: Exit the Niagara bound QEW at Niagara Street in St. Catharines.
This exit will fork, you need to take the left fork to the lights at Welland
Ave. Turn left, go under the QEW to the second light which is Grantham
Avenue. Turn left here and go past the next three lights (Facer St, Carlton
St, Scott St)Grantham Road Park will quickly be on your left. Opposite
the north end of the park is Bessborough Road. Start your search here but
the bird could be anywhere in a fairly wide area. Good luck.
