I dropped by Wylie Road on my way by this evening, and was rewarded by a Yellow Rail ticking away just west of the bridge in Sedge Wren Marsh. It was calling about 6:15 pm. Also a Harrier cruising around, and a Loggerhead Shrike at Box 10.
Ron Reid Directions: The Carden Alvar is a 1.5 hour drive or 125 km northeast of Toronto via the 404 and Highway 48. From the Kirkfield Lift Lock go 2.5 km north, turn right on McNamee Road where Kawartha Road 6 turns sharply left. You'll see the Carden Important Bird Area sign. The Sedge Wren Marsh is 2.7 km from the start of Wylie Road.
