Birders; Stopping by the lagoons tonight, and speaking by phone to a local birder, there was an impressive list of birds seen at the lagoon today--most in the Sprinkler cells by the bldg. I assume the 7+ birders who visited today, do not have access to their computers , so I am taking the liberty of posting the birds. Those driving through the area may wish to stop by.
300+ Dunlin 15+ Lesser Yellowlegs Solitary S.P. Semipalmated Plover Pectorals 7 Wilson's Phalaropes [ our single male has waited 46 days for this company ! ] 4 Long-Billed Dowitchers 4 Marbled Godwits 3 Ruddy Turnstones [ and 1 other species-- I can't read my own "scribble"--LOL] Cattle Egret--corner of Bisnett Rd. & Erieau Rd [10 min. from lagoon] Bird frequents the small horse paddock with the white rail fence. Spends some time in the deep, foliaged, drainage ditch. Requires patience + time. Bird does not like people carrying cameras. Lagoon directions: Directions; Blenheim is on #3 H [Talbot Rd]. in Chatham-Kent. Take # 3 H West out of Blenheim, about 1 km. You will see a car wash at the corner of Lagoon Rd., turn right [ North]. Go about 1/2 km. and you will see a small locked gate [ see below]. Enter at this gate only. Please park on the lagoon side of the road--only. Permit required.
