Birders - The Eared Grebe found by Marianne Reid several days ago at Hillman Marsh Conservation Area remains active in the SW corner of the Shorebird Cell. Some of the other birds there this morning include 300+ Dunlin, 10 Black-bellied Plover, 3 Greater Yellowlegs, and a variety of ducks such as - Ruddy, Bufflehead, American Wigeon and Pintail. The 60 acre Shorebird Cell at Hillman is being drawn-down each week to provide shorebird mud / feeding habitat, however with all the rain this past month it keeps filling up! The 1,000 acre Hillman Marsh Conservation Area is located on the NE corner of the Point Pelee peninsula in Essex County, 4 km N of Point Pelee National Park.
