Greetings: Tiny was at the wetland this evening so that a couple of people could enjoy the sights. The Marsh Wren are still very vocal, Red-Wings are still massing in the hundreds (if not more), a Greater Yellowlegs was being harassed by a few Lesser Yellowlegs. A couple of Virginia Rails could be seen BUT with a lot of difficulty. A Blue-winged Teal and many, many Green-winged Teal and a few Mallards were also present.
The highlight was a most beautiful Northern Parula Warbler along with quite a few Yellow-rumped Warblers. I, for one, have been waiting to see the Northern Parula since last May at Presqu'ile Provincial Park. There was also a "possible" Tennessee Warbler (but warblers being warblers it did not sit still long enough for Roger Bird to get a better look at it). Once again a "WOW" from the Brighton Constructed Wetland. Maureen The wetland is located 7.2 kilometres from exit 509 and Highway 30 eastbound on Highway 401. Just follow the road right through town. The wetland is located on the south/east corner of County Road 64. _________________________________________________________________ New!
