Mary Beth and I drove to Kingston today arriving at 10am and after a few
minutes of waiting were rewarded with good looks of the RUHU as it came out
of the conifer and landed on the feeder. Over the next 30 minutes it came to
the feeder 3 times for varying lengths of time and would then perch on one
of the outer branches of the tree before disappearing into it. We left at
10:45 and were the only ones there.

Directions as per Bob Sachs:

From Hwy 401 @ km. 623 go south on Hwy 15 to the T-junction at

Hwy 2 and then east on #2 Hwy to King Pitt Rd., then south on King Pitt Rd.
to #24 at the end of the Road.

CONDITIONS: The owners are birder-friendly. They request that visiting
birders not block the streets or driveways. Please visit in small groups, 5
or 6 persons at a time are welcome to watch the hummingbird feeder on the
south side of the house from a distance of 20 ft. A good vantage point is
the row of rocks at about that distance south of the feeder.
