Western Kingbird continued today in Dundas (suburb of
Hamilton) and was photographed around 3pm at "the chimney".  It is hanging around the
Desjardins Canal, the adjacent Canal Park and the Urquhart Butterfly
Gardens. It may linger.

 To get there from out of town, take the York Rd exit from Hwy 6 N
(between Hwy 403 and Clappisons Corners) and follow it west into Dundas
where it turns into Olympic Dr.  Just north of Cootes Dr, turn west onto
King St E which runs along the north side of the Canal.  Park in the public
parking lot just east of the Hamilton Air Force Association building with
the mounted fighter jet.  A trail runs from the butterfly gardens east
towards Canal Park.
