The White-winged Dove in St. Catharines was seen several times yesterday,
October 12, 2008. Quite a few birders including several from Scarborough, and
New York State had good looks at this bird that has been present in a
residential backyard since the 21st of July. This observation becomes a new
species addition to the Buffalo Ornithological Society Annual October Count
held yesterday.
There has been criticism from some quarters about the excessive continuing
reporting on Ontbirds of lingering rare birds especially during the time of the
Niagara Falls Rufous Hummingbird. I received a number of e-mails at the time
making this point very clear. Just the opposite occurred this past weekend.
My apologies to Andrew Keaveney and any others who were not aware of this birds
continued presence. Perhaps I should have reported it on a more regular basis.
Directions:
>From the QEW, take the Niagara Street exit in St. Catharines and go north on
>Niagara Street. Immediately over the QE Highway at the first lights, the road
>forks with Vine Street going to the left, and Niagara Street to the right,
>with a Sunoco gas station in the middle of this fork. Take a left here onto
>Vine Street and at 4.1 km you will be at the lights at Lakeshore Road.
>Continue north through the lights another 2/10ths of a km to the first street
>on your left, Old Coach Road. Turn left here and go two streets on your right
>to Mississauga Road, house #4.
