Good Evening All, Earlier today, Jean and I were birding at Mud Lake Conservation Area in Port Colborne. We hiked the Blue Heron Trail and nearing the conclusion of our walk (approximately 4:30 PM) we heard the 2-noted call of a Sora coming from the edge of the lake (below the trail). We then spotted the Sora walking through the shallow water and along the logs near the edge of the lake. At the start of the trails, turn left and head north on the Blue Heron Trail approximately 50 metres to reach the spot where we observed the Sora. There will be some fallen trees on the right. The Sora was seen in a sheltered pool near these fallen trees. Bob Highcock and Jean HampsonSt. Catharines, ON Directions: >From St. Catharines, travel south on Highway 406.
