Hi everyone
The Yellow-headed Blackbird & Red-bellied Woodpecker that Jacques
Bouvier reported last week west of Williamstown, Ontario are still
coming to feeders at 19275 County Road 19. Gillian Horgan and I saw
both birds this morning, March 7th, between 7:30 and 8:30. We also saw
our first Common Grackle and first two Red-winged Blackbirds of the
year. The owner of the house also reported a couple of Robins this
morning. We were told that both of the rarities have been coming to the
feeders since around Christmas.

Directions as per Jacques Bouvier's post:
DIRECTIONS, courtesy of Jacques Bouvier::
Take Hwy 401 west of Cornwall to exit 804. Proceed north past Summerstown
Station until you get to the stop sign just past the first Raisin River
bridge.
Turn right on Cty Rd 19 towards Williamstown. A couple of kms along, on
your right
is 19,275 County Road 19, on the
north (left) side of the road. It is a blue house. The owner allows birders
to drive up the lane and check out his feeder on the north side of the
house. If the weather is lousy the owner will allow birders to walk up into
the 2 car garage, up the little set of steps into the sun room and look in
comfort from there. Please do not block the driveway.
