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
