At 1:30 this afternoon I watched the White-winged Dove fly out of the trees on the west side of the allotment gardens and across the pipe path to the trees on the east side ( behind the house ) wear it diapered in to the foliage , I am not sheer whether it went to roust their or just keep on going right on through !! it wood seem that it likes the south end of the park rather than the north , I wood look for it around the gardens if you are going to spend any time their .I look for 2 hours today Shell Park is located on Lakeshore Road in between Burloak and Bronte Road in Oakville.
