Birders,
The water levels have now dropped at Hillman creating a small amount of
Shorebird habitat along the edges of the marsh. This morning I observed a
Juv. Long-billed Dowitcher,1 Short-billed Dowitcher, Pec's, both Yellowlegs,
Semipalmated Plovers, Semipalmated Sandpipers,Least ,Dunlin, Baird's and
also a single Buff-breasted Sandpiper flying low to the south -no doubt
heading to the Onion fields.
Hillman Marsh is located 5km north of Point Pelee National Park.
Also...Muddy Creek(north of Wheatley Harbour) has had a steady roosting of
11 Great Egrets for the past week.
Good Birding,
Dean Ware
Wheatley ON.
