Neither should you venture up the roadway towards his farmhouse. As has been suggested in several posts today, there is plenty of good habitat in both directions along the Canal from the spot where the bird was found and good numbers of birds to hang out with. However, it did seem to prefer feeding along the edge of the road. I hope it's more cooperative tomorrow. Happy trails ....
