I didn't realize there were 5 lagoons at Blenheim. I guess I should mention that I only looked at the two ponds nearest the building, and that all the shorebirds were on the first pond. Mark Kubisz, Toronto, ON

At Blenheim sewage lagoons, shorebirds present were approximately 170 killdeer, 41 Least Sandpipers, 8 Lesser Yellowlegs and a Spotted Sandpiper. This morning at Rondeau Provincial Park we had 4 Yellow-billed Cuckoos (all vocalizing; 1 seen) and we heard a Black-billed Cuckoo.
