This morning at 10 am while playing golf at Stonehenge golf course on Taunton Road north of Bowmansville a very pale finch flew in and landed in a pine tree right beside me. At first I thought it was a leucistic American Goldfinch but it had a red behind the forehead not black and an almost white slightly streaked breast and belly that was cream coloured. I asked my playing partner who was closer to the bird to describe it to me in case I was seeing things but he gave the same description. The bird flew off to the west towards the tall trees along the first fairway. One of the prettiest birds I have seen this year.
Stonehenge golf club can be found on Taunton road east 4 km east of Liberty Street north of Bowmansville (exit 432 on 401).
