Eleanor Beagan and I saw the Oregon Junco on Saturday 15 February at about 12 noon, 12:30 and 1:15 p.m. Each time it came out to feed on the feeder, then retreated to the trees behind the house. It's an excellent bird for the Great Backyard Bird Count. The homeowners welcome birders and we thank them for their hospitality. Photos here: http://www.jeaniron.ca/2014/oregon.htm
Directions: Address is 115 Goodwood Road 21 (Durham Road 21), Port Perry, Durham Region. >From the intersection of Lakeridge Road 23 and Goodwood Road 21 go east on Goodwood Road 21 about 1 km. It is the gray house on north side, just before Mast Road, which runs south. The sign in front says 115 and Croftbeg. Note: This is quite a bit west of Highway 12 and the built up town area of Port Perry. Lakeridge Road 23 runs north-south and starts at Lake Ontario just west of Cranberry Marsh.
