The Avocet was still there, feeding along the south beach in cell 2 as of 11:45 a.m. this morning, Oct. 29. It had flown up to the north end and was swimming amongst the ducks for a while, so scan that area if you don't see it on the south beach. A lone Brant was a bonus in cell 2.
Could be seen from viewing stand at Kerr Park with scope (if bird not too close to north shore), or near middle intersection of main three cells if enter via Lagoon Lane. You do not need a permit to enter the Lagoons on foot. The Lagoon Lane gate is left open for Sewage Truck access only...please don't drive through and don't park too close to the gate as some of the trucks need to make a wide turn. directions: >From Toronto take Hwy. 400 north to Hwy. 11 north. Take southern exit into >Bracebridge from Hwy. 11 at Hwy. 118. Turn left onto Hwy. 118W. Turn left >onto Lagoon Lane by Seasons in the Country. (or can go to Kerr Park and enter >lagoons from there - see google maps) Map of the Lagoons cell layout can be found in my posts on the Muskoka Bird Board: http://www.boards2go.com/boards/board.cgi?user=MuskokaBirdBoard <http://www.boards2go.com/boards/board.cgi?user=MuskokaBirdBoard> Barbara Taylor (Bracebridge) _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
