Hi all,

This afternoon, after my Northern Gannet dip (which conveniently showed up half an hour after I left), I checked out Snyder's Flats, where the female Mountain Bluebird has been. After about an hour of searching, we eventually located her on the north side of the second parking lot from the turn off of Sawmill Rd. She would fly from tree to tree, occasionally flying to the ground for some food.

Directions: (copy and pasted from Ken Burrell's post, I hope he doesn't mind!)

Directions (Brendan O'Sullivan):

Exit 282
North on Hespeler Rd
2nd exit of roundabout to stay on Hespeler
Left onto Maple Grove
Right onto Beaver Dale
Left onto Kossuth
Right onto Shantz Station
Left onto St Charles
Right onto Sawmill
Left onto Snyder Flats

Good birding,

Still present along Snyder's Flats Rd. around 10:30 this morning. Was hanging around the tall tree between the end of the road and the parking area just before that. A mature bald eagle flyby was a bonus!

Directions as per previous posts below.

Good birding.
