> Hi, The two Hudsonian Godwits, and Franklin's Gull were still at the same location posted by Barry Cherriere. Other birds seen..........Black-bellied Plover, Dunlin, and Pectoral Sandpipers. On your way in there are many Nelson's Sharp-tailed Sparrows easily found in the area between the the west pond and the marsh itself. Good luck..........Tom Thomas. > DIRECTIONS: > > Exit highway 8 West from the 403 in Hamilton, turn west onto 8 > (Main Street West) and pass McMaster University.
