Just to let people know that the Wylie Road specialties are all still there. My daughter and I were there yesterday, June 19, and had the following (mostly on Wylie Rd):
BB Cuckoo - around 1 km from McNamee; another heard at the Art's Ranch sign, about 3 km from McNameee YB Cuckoo - heard clearly at south end of marsh Loggerhead Shrike - at Art's Ranch sign, looking West (scope adviseable) Sedge Wrens - at least 3 were calling in the marsh, 1 in south end, 1 near bridge, and 1 at north end; only brief glimpses Grasshopper Sparrow - seen and heard, east side of road opposite Windermere Ranch sign (about 2 km north of marsh) Snipe - seen on fence posts....many hear Upland SP - surprisingly few, but also try Prospect Road (which runs south from highway 48 starting about 5-6 km west of Kirfield) N. Harrier - a pair at sedge marsh, and another pair over the marsh at Prospect Road Savannah Sparrow - very common Bobolinks and Meadowlarks, - common on both roads Bluebirds - many on Wylie Road, both south and north of marsh DIRECTIONS: From Kirkfield on Highway 48 east of Lake Simcoe, proceed north on County Road 6. At 2.6 km past the Kirkfield Lift Lock, turn right (east) on McNamee Road where County Road 6 turns sharply to the left. Then turn left almost immediately on Wylie Road.
