There was a single Gray Catbird in the TJ Dolan Natural Area this morning. Very surprising but unmistakeable. The bird was feeding on the now scarce buckthorn berries near the upper feeders on the north side of the river.
Steve Thorpe The TJ Dolan Area is in SW Stratford. The best parking lot is on John Street at Centre Street. From the parking lot head west along the river, cross the pedestrian bridge then head west again along the north side of the river. Near a large sewer manhole the trail heads up a hill and the "Buckthorn feeders " are in the bushy area about 100m up the hill. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
