HI folks, I stopped by the Wawa Sewage Lagoons/Ponds today (5:00pm) and found 1 Harlequin Duck (female plumage) - southeast pond, 1 Eared Grebe (full breeding plumage) - southeast pond, 2 Ruddy Duck (pair) - southeast pond and 2 Wilson's Phalarope (pair) - northwest pond. I realize that these species may be common in other parts of Ontario during migration but are of note for the Wawa area. Other waterfowl observed: Great Blue Heron Least Sandpiper Lesser Yellowlegs Spotted Sandpiper Killdeer Bonaparte's Gull Herring Gull Ring-billed Gull Canada Goose Pied-billed Grebe Double-crested Cormorant Wood Duck Gadwall American Wigeon American Black Duck Mallard Blue-winged Teal Northern Shoveler Northern Pintail Green-winged Teal Redhead Ring-necked Duck Lesser Scaup Greater Scaup Bufflehead Hooded Merganser Common Goldeneye Wawa sewage lagoons are located east of Hwy 17 and west of Misson Rd. along Golf Course Road. Wawa is located along Hwy 17 about 230 km north of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. Ken McIlwrick
