Richard Poort has just called to advise that the bird was seen on the path on the north side east of the small bridge that crosses the creek where there is a stand of small spruces and pines. I post because it does not inflict on people's property and the bird is coming in to some seed which is on the path. Another birder has offered to go and get more seed so that the bird has plenty and that people can enjoy the bird without being intrusive. Please keep in mind though that the bird needs its distance to come in to eat in this cold weather.
Directions Follow Burloak Drive south of Rebecca. The trail is on the east side of Burloak but you will have to park on a side street as there is no parking on Burloak. Walk east along the trail to the small bridge which crosses the creek and then east on the north trail. Alternatively you can turn left on Stevenson which runs off Burloak and make a left at the second entrance to Willmott Crescent. The trail can be accessed here through a small parkette called Willmott Park. Walk west along the trail to the spruces and then go south into the bush to where the houses are. Take the entrance to the trail at the back of the park and continue straight over the small iron bridge and turn east. Thanks for the generosity of the birder who supplied food. Its nice to see an act of kindness to counteract the ridiculous events of yesterday. This is a great bird for all to enjoy.
