Hi everyone, Looks like these birds are still present as of this morning, as reported by Allain Carriere on eBird.
Please note that the winter semester has now started, and parking in P59 near these birds will likely be impossible (it's nearly impossible to find parking even as a student!) The service road will likely be fairly trafficky, so don't block that road either. Trust me when I say the parking authorities are very on top of things here on campus! As such, if you're thinking of driving to Guelph to see these birds, I recommend perhaps parking at the Best Buy parking lot and walking over. Updated directions follow: To get to University of Guelph via Best Buy parking lot: >From 401, take exit 299 north (Brock Road). Brock Road turns into Gordon St. >Follow Gordon St. to the University campus. Turn left onto Stone Road, then >turn left into Canadian Tire/Best Buy/Walmart complex. Park on the east side >of Best Buy near Chancellor's Way, and walk east on South Ring Road. Once you >reach the greenhouses, turn left and parking lot P59 with the crabapple trees >will be there.

All immature males and/or females. Fairly tame birds so you can get fairly close to them. Lots of crabapples here so they'll probably stick around for a little bit.
