An adult White-winged Dove is being seen at a private residence in north St. Catharines. The bird is most often seen in the backyard but also has been spotted in the residence front yard Maple tree and other neighboring trees. The best time for viewing seems to be from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm but very early morning has also been productive.
The residence is at 4 Mississauga Road, St. Catharines. The homeowner has graciously offered birders access as far as the backyard gate on the left side of the residence. He has asked that birders not go beyond this gate onto the back porch or into the backyard. Most of the yard is visible with little obstruction from this gate. This bird is on the OBRC Review List. Please be sure to submit a report if you are fortunate enough to observe the bird. Directions: >From the QEW, take the Niagara Street exit in St. Catharines and go north on >Niagara Street.
