Hi there,
Many thanks to Jim for forwarding this note from Pat
Giffin. I was planning to spend a few days atlassing in the
Kingston/Margaretsville area this weekend, so was delighted to have
this tip ahead of time. I went in search of the Bluebird, and met
Dan Thibodeau, who lives on Dahlgren Crescent in the western suburbs
of Kingston. He was very welcoming in showing me where the Eastern
Bluebird had been hanging out. He has some lovely photos of it
perched on his Hummingbird feeder.
Just so you are not misled by the recent thread about
unexpected visitors at Hummingbird feeders, I should make clear that
this bird wasn't attracted to the nectar. He initially came to the
big front window to battle his reflection, and found the
window-mounted hummingbird feeder a convenient perch. After a few
days Dan put up a nesting box for him, which the EABL checked out
immediately and frequently visited, and used as a perch for
singing. Alas no mate has appeared, but the bird has been present
for six weeks, now. Unfortunately it was not seen by me, or the
Thibodeau family, or their neighbours, on Saturday when I was
there. However it was seen frequently the day before (18 July), and
is probably still in the area and worth looking for.
As compensation, I found a family of newly-fledged Tree
Swallows, and a family of Rose-breasted Grosbeaks were in the neighbourhood.
Cheers,
Patricia L. Chalmers

Attached is a photo of the E.Bluebird that stands guard on Dan
Thibodeau's, window mounted, hummingbird feeder, in Dalgren Subdivision.
When we last heard from Dan it had been a regular visitor for 4
weeks!<br>
