--=====================_217153593==.ALT Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed 07 November 2009, Hatchet Lake, HRM Graham and Vicki Hawkins are hosting a Spotted Towhee at their Hatchet Lake, HRM, feeders. They first noticed the bird yesterday afternnoon, and it has been present off and on all day today (Nov. 7). Ian McLaren and I saw it at 3:00 p.m., and I managed another record shot of the bird, which I'll post shortly to the Nova Scotia Rare Bird Alert site. The Hawkins live at 147 Northcliffe Drive, in Hatchet Lake. Take Route 333 (Prospect Road) south from the Exhibition Park, and turn left on to Brookside Road, which is just before Holts RiteStop confectionary, and directly across from the Community Pharmacy and Medical Clinic. Once on Brookside Road, take the first left, onto Northcliffe Road. Their house is at 147, on the left side of the road, but their number sign was recently stolen. Instead, watch for 152 Northcliffe Road, just opposite their house. The bird, which is skittish and wary, as is typical of towhees, is coming in to feeders at the rear of the property. The best vantage point is to go around the front of the house to the stairs leading up to the deck, on the east side of the house. From the deck you can see all the feeders, as well as the ground beneath them, which is where the towhee usually feeds. Visiting birders are welcome, and you may arrive as early as daylight permits. I've warned Vicki that there might be an influx of birders, but they seem prepared for the attention. Their phone number is: 852-4637 Best of luck.
