Hello Birders, For all you Phainopepla chasers out there, the 'pepla was seen by myself and a few other birders on the northwest end of Aberdeen Crescent where it intersects with Ascot Ave at approx 10:30 this morning. The bird flew into a spruce from a backyard, posed for about a minute before taking off south, across Aberdeen. I made little effort to re-locate the bird (because I was supposed to be attending classes at the time!) but from what others told me he does move around quite a bit.
An incredibly beautiful bird!

Good Birding, Lev Frid Maple, ON _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
