A bit more on this amazing vagrant. A large group congregated because Dave B had spotted the bird behind 7 & 9 Aberdeen Cres., when we got there a very kind homeowner at #9 allowed us into her backyard to look for the bird (thanks to Ian Cannell for asking permission!!). While standing there I spotted the bird fly up from behind #7 into a bare tree. The bird sat up high in decent light for at least 5 minutes. I believe all that were there got great looks at this bird.
The bird moves around quite a bit and is in between the houses mentioned on Aberdeen, seen also from 90 & 92 Addington Crescent, some patience may be required (although I'm one of the lucky few who saw it within 10 minutes of arrival, others had come back from missing it the day before). You could also see down between the houses if looking from the driveway of #4 Ascot Avenue (but only look from the driveway as the owner was allowing people in the back while she was there, but leaving at 10am). Good luck to all who can get out there! Good Birding, Frank Pinilla Richmond Hill, ON DIRECTIONS: >From the intersection of Dixie Road & Steeles Avenue in Brampton, go north on Dixie to Birchbank Rd, turn right here to the stop sign where you turn left on Avondale Blvd, Addington Crescent is the 4th street on the right, turn here and park either here or on Ascot Ave or Aberdeen Cres. -- Sent from my mobile device _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
