The American Avocet found by a Peterborough birder yesterday (June 10) was 
still present this morning (June 11) at 8:30 a.m.
 
Directions:  
>From Peterborough, take Monaghan Road south, under the bypass.  It becomes 
>Johnson Dr. when it swings west and follows the bypass.  Johnson jogs left, 
>then right and then on the west side opposite house #1111 there are several 
>small ponds in the cow field. The Avocet was in these ponds.
>From the south, take County Road 28 north from Port Hope to about 0.5 km north 
>of the Kawartha Downs racetrack. Turn east on Peterborough County Road 11 
>(also known as Montcrief Line) towards the Peterborough airport. After about 3 
>km the road bends sharply north to the airport; about 1 km north of the 
>airport (JUST south of highway 115) turn east on Beardsmore Rd. This road 
>bends and twists a bit, but about 3 km along it you will find house #1111 on 
>your right. The bird was in the pond (to your left) nearest the road when I 
>saw it.
 
Good birding,
John Geale
