Saturday May 8, 2004 Don and Margie Wilkes found a White-winged Dove this morning in Tobermory. The bird is hanging out in a reliable location and has been seen by a handful of local birders. We were able to get some decent photos.
Directions: Take Highway 6 up the Bruce Peninsula. Just as you're coming into Tobermory, turn right after the golf course onto Maple Golf Cres. The bird has been in the vicinity of the first two houses on the right, moving between a feeder (at # 26) and the thickets across the street. The thickets are, well... thick... so the bird can be hard to spot. The home owner is birder-friendly, but please do respect her property. Happy birding!
