Hi from Brighton, in the last week we have had a few birds flying through the Lagoon as well as the Wetlands, the wetlands are about 1/3 open, this week I have seen what I think is a Thompson's Hawk (quite big) stopping on the Osprey nest to over see the wetlands, also a few buffle heads, golden eye mallards, and a few ducks that were hard to see with assistance that were very dark in color with a long tail, but they did not stay long, the lagoon is also 1/3 open but thawing out quick.
Cell 613-391-9142 Home 613-475-0881 keith.lee(at)sympatico.ca Directions: The Constructed Wetland is located at the SE corner of Brighton. From Hwy 401, take the Brighton exit 509 (Hwy. 30) and follow it south into town. Go south through the two traffic lights, over the railway tracks and follow the main road, now called Prince Edward Street, south. About 1 km south of the tracks, the main road begins to swing to the left and becomes Cty. Rd. 64. As this long turn ends the Constructed Wetlands appear on the right side. Look for the Wetland viewing sign at the east end of the Wetland.
