Hi fellow bird watchers, I am disable so my bird watching relates to home bird feeders and in my car along the back roads here. I have a red Cardinal feeding ocasionally at my feeder, very skiddish, my wife has thought she seen the female? This morning I seen the male in a cedar tree across the road and then he flew up in a tree beyond my sight because of the living room window. I went to let the dogs out and there he was in the top of a elm tree, the sun shinning on his feathers a beautifull picture. I used to have yellow grossbeaks but for the past two years none, am I doing something wrong or type of feed? Would appreciate any help or type of books to get? Thanks Keith Sherrard Smiths falls

He then disappeared into the row of evergreens and I couldn't spot him anymore. I also saw a Sharp-shinned Hawk roosted on a branch at the South end of Halls Rd. I did not spot anything on Lakeridge Rd. or on Shoal Point Rd. There were a large number of birds in or by the water also. Aside from the geese and swans, there were several Long Tailed Ducks, and at least one Bufflehead Duck that I could identify. Halls Rd. is just East of Lakeridge Rd. off Victoria St. Take the Salem exit from the 401 south to Bayly/Victoria - make a left and follow past Lakeride Rd. Halls Rd. is your next right.
