Season Greetings< Early this morning I was at the beach by Port Darlingon in Bowmanville for the CBC. There were no other birders or birds except a lot of snow. I almost got stuck in the deep snow but managed to make it home again. So I shall report yesterday's backyard feeder report.
I saw the first Red Bellied Woodpecker again since last year. 5 Brown Headed Cowbirds filled one of the feeders and in a moment of the twinkling of the eye a Coopers Hawk caught one of them and ate part of it and then flew off with its prey. Directions: Take 330 exit off 401 and take Mill St. south towards the lake but stop on the street at # 590 and look at the feeders north and west of our home. Markus J.
