Hi Ont Birders; On October 3 the Bruce Birding Club led by Fred Jazvac found and had good looks at a Marbled Godwit at Miramichi Bay. Other birds seen at the bay were Semi-palm and Black-bellied Plovers, Lesser and Greater Yellowlegs, Pectoral Sandpipers, several ducks including White-winged Scoter and a couple gull species and a Bald Eagle. In total for the day the club saw 65 species at numerous sites in the Southampton area. A picture of the Godwit can be seen at the Bruce Birding Club Website https://sites.google.com/site/brucebirdingclub/home Cheers James
Directions; Miramichi Bay is found on the Lake Huron Shoreline between Southampton and Port Elgin. Just north of Port Elgin turn west on con 10 follow almost to the lake and then turn right on to Miramichi road and follow about 1 Kilometer. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
