Hello Ontbirders
An adult male Painted Bunting (reported by James Akers)
was coming to a niger seed feeder at 421 Amberwood Road, near Ashton.
It was first seen Monday May 12, then and all day May 13.
Unfortunately, it has not yet been seen today as of this message (2:45pm).
The bird was well documented by video. However, to the best of my knowledge,
the Akers family have, so far, been the only lucky ones to see this dazzling
bird.
Directions:
>From Ottawa, Take Hwy 7 West.
Turn left on Ashton Stn. Road.
Continue straight through the village of Ashton.
Turn right on 9th Line.
Turn left on Cambellside Road.
Turn left on Glenashton Road ("T" junction).
Turn right at the first road, Dewar Side Road.
Turn left at Amberwood Road ("T" junction).
421 is the 4th house on the right side, just before the bend.
The house is in a heavily wooded area, and difficult to see from the road.
The owner warns to "Beware of Dog".
Good Luck
