For any that have not yet seen it, the Western Kingbird was still near
Urquhart Butterfly Gardens in Dundas from 11:45-12:15pm today, looking very
frisky and feeding well in spite of the bald patch on the front crown. It
was feeding actively east of the Dewitt Mover and Storage building in the
northwest corner of the field with burdock, teasel and goldenrod.
Directions: per Frank Pinilla: exit 403 at Highway 6 North and then quickly
onto York Road, proceed ca 5 km to King St. East where you turn right and
soon park on the south side just west of the Hamilton Air Force club.
