While searching unsuccessfully for the Harris's Sparrow this morning in Wellington (not seen for the last two days as far as we know) we learned about this bird and had it about 20 minutes after we arrived. The bird is coming to seed that has been scattered on the path (road) to the lighthouse but only appears briefly with long interludes. I last had it after 4 p.m. It looks like it has settled in for the time being and with seed present it will make itself visible from time to time. Without it the bird would be very difficult to locate. Jays, Grackles, White-throats and Juncos are the principle takers. After this week there may not be regular seed deposits so having a small supply would help if you are coming later on. It prefers mixed seed and seems to tolerate a corn blend. Scattering along the path is better than piling it. The feeding pattern is for it to appear for less than a minute on the ground then head back into the brush, returning every 30-45 minutes. Only once in the afternoon it was 20 minutes. Early morning feeding may be more active since it would be hungrier. It may give its characteristic call note as it approaches unseen, alerting you to its presence. This was done about 50% of the time so it is good to be familiar with it. Brian Morin Location details : After reaching the banding station, continue to the dock and park. Walk around the gate and head along the path across the swamp, less than 5 minutes. It is just around this bend. Prince Edward Point Banding Station is located at the end of Long Point Road at the SE tip of the county, easily accessed off the 401 from Trenton, Belleville, Deseronto (HWY 49).
