Hi all,
I know not a provincially "rare" bird, but certainly a very interesting one for Middlesex County (fourth record on eBird in the last decade, first since 2016) This afternoon I found an American Bittern in the wetland just north of Sunningdale Road between Richmond Street and Adelaide Street in London. The wetland can be accessed off of Canvas Way. The pathway is flooded along the retaining wall (in fact, that is where I first spotted the bittern!), so you may find it useful to turn left off of Canvas Way onto Eclipse Walk. At the end of the road there is another access point to the wetland. eBird checklist: https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S44791441 Good birding, Quinten Wiegersma London, Ont https://birdsbugsbotany.blogspot.ca/ qwieger...@hotmail.com _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
