There was a Great Egret at Cranberry Marsh at noon today. The bird was
perched in a willow at the north end, then flew down to the water's edge
to feed.
Cranberry Marsh can be reached by travelling south from Hwy 401 on Brock
Street [Hwy 12] to Victoria St. Then west on Victoria Street to Halls
Road. South on Halls Road and the two short trails to the Cranberry Marsh
viewing platforms are on your left.

Tottenham today. In one field, of 26 Black-bellied Plovers seen, two
were juveniles. Also, an adult Pectoral Sandpiper and several
Killdeer.
At Schomberg Sewage Lagoons were 12 Lesser ( 5 juv.) and an adult
Greater Yellowlegs, 2 juv. Least Sandpipers, Killdeer, Spotted
Sandpipers, both Teal, Gadwall, Wood Duck, Black Duck, Mallards, and
an immature PB Grebe. There were also 120 Bonaparte's Gulls, of which
12 were juveniles.

Today (Sun. Aug. 15), just before noon, Dave Don and I had a juv.
Western Sandpiper at the Townsend Sewage Lagoons. It was in the SE cell
with the several hundred other shorebirds. We tallied 13 shorebird
species here, including the Red-necked Phalarope, 2 White-rumped
Sandpipers, 1 Stilt Sandpiper and 1 juv. Short-billed Dowitcher. There
were also 8 Bonaparte's Gulls in the NE cell, including one juvenile.
Directions: From Hamilton, go south on Hwy. 6, continue south past
Hagersville; turn west on Haldimand Reg. Rd. 69 into Townsend. At the
four-way stop, turn south on Keith Richardson Parkway. At the road just
before the railway tracks, turn right; the lagoons are about 1 km along
on the north side. Do not block the entranceway or park in the turning
widening.
