Since I haven't seen any reports of AMERICAN PIPITS on Ontbirds yet this fall, I thought I should let everybody know that there were at least 7 at the Bracebridge Sewage Lagoons on Sunday (7 September) evening.
The lagoons can be reached by travelling north on Hwy. 11 from Barrie to the first Bracebridge exit (i.e., Hwy 118), which is about 100 km from Barrie. Once at the end of the exit ramp, turn left (west) on 118 and travel approximately 2 km until you see Lagoon Lane on the left side of the road. Turn left and follow Lagoon Lane until you see the gate at the lagoons (about 500 m). Park at the small parking area at the bend in the road and walk into the lagoons. The pipits were flying around a bit, but were also feeding on the extensive mudflats in the cell to the south of the aeration pumps. ********** Burke Korol Huntsville, ON [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Burke Korol" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Visit http://www.ofo.ca/ontbirdsguide.htm for information on leaving and joining the list.
