Hi again everyone, The Rondeau white-winged dove continues Monday morning. I expect it to stay throughout the spring and into the summer, as it did last year. I talked to the owner of the house, Mel, this morning. He says that yesterday was the first time he saw it, too. He feeds it seeds every morning, by throwing them out off the porch. Mel is very accommodating and loves to visit with anyone that comes by. It calls often and is often seen perched on the roof of his Toyota Venza. Last year, it even tried to make a few nests on the roof of the car and near the windshield wipers. The location is 17272 Lakeshore Rd, about 1/2 km past the Visitor Center. This will be my last ontbirds post about this bird but you can follow my sightings, as well as those of others on eBird. A reminder that it costs $17 per vehicle if you don't have a Provincial Parks pass (don't shoot the messenger). Good luck to all who try for this bird.
