Ontbirders, Ross Snider and I saw a Great Egret this morning in the pond adjacent to the Embro Conservation Area. This bird was 1st found by Stefan Labonte on the 4th and provides Oxford with a latest ever record and our 2nd Dec. record.
The Egret can easily be seen from Road 84, at the north end of the lake. I also had two Common Redpolls fly-over, the 1st locals of the fall. Directions - From 401, take exit 222 to Road 6 north to Embro. Drive 1km north to Road 84, turn west on 84 and proceed about 400 m to the CA, on the south side of the road.
