Good Morning! The Red-headed Woodpecker is still visiting the feeder at 3196 Campden Road. He appeared to be caching peanuts in a tree just north of the house, returning regularly for more than 10 minutes until I left at about 10:45 this morning. Just north of there on the corner of Bethesda Road there were at least 10 Lapland Longspurs with a small group of Snow Buntings and Horned Larks. There were also a couple of Titmice visting my feeders at 2939 Campden Road ( just south of the Woodpecker location ) Nice birding on a fine morning!
Directions: QEW Niagara, exit Victoria Ave. ( Reg. 24 ) Vineland, head south, up the escarpment to Fly Rd. ( stoplight ) turn rt., then go left on Campden Road. Once out of the village, Bethesda Road is the first "country" crossroad. Check the roadsides for the Longspurs.
