I went to Nonquon lagoons yesterday and the birding was quite good. In an hoir or so I had 55 species including six species of Sandpiper. Killdeer, Spotted Sandpiper, Solitary Sandpiper, Least Sandpiper, Lesser Lellowlegs and snipe. There were also nine species of warblers there, a Moorhen and three lingering Black Terns. Additionally I had 198 Bonaparte's Gulls. This was an actual count of sitting birds in case you're wondering. The numbers and variety of ducks is building. The family of Trumpeters is doing great.
The lagoons are located on the north edge of Port Perry on the 8th Concession. Don't forget you need a permit. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
