[Ontbirds]Pine Grosbeaks in Waterloo

[Scott M. Ramsay]

At 13:00 on 25 January 2008 I saw a flock of 6 pine grosbeaks on the 
campus of Wilfrid Laurier University.  I heard them call, and looking up 
saw two perched on the top of a tree; four others flew in to join them.  
There was at least one adult male among the group; all the others had 
paler plumage.  The sighting was in the middle of the campus in front of 
the Little House residence 
(http://info.wlu.ca/wlu-hp/about/maps-2003/little_house.shtml).  The WLU 
campus can be reached by following Hwy 8 west from Hwy 401.  At the 
junction of Hwy 7 and 8 follow Hwy 7 east and continue on to Hwy 85 
north.  Exit from Hwy 85 at University Ave W.  Follow University Ave. 
2.6 km to the first set of lights past King St.  Turn left onto 
Mid-campus Dr.
