[Ontbirds] Reddish Egret
The Reddish Egret is still being seen at Oliphant this afternoon at 3:30 pm. My wife and I saw the bird fly in and land and then proceeded to do it’s feeding ritual in a shallow area. Travel along the shore road to the north end along the gravel portion. There is a small parking lot where there is a private property sign. It is just to the north of this area in the shallows and grasses about 50 or 60 feet farther to the north.

[Ontbirds] LONG-TAILED JAEGERS in the Gt. Lakes..
While in CHURCHILL, MANITOBA , I noticed LONG-TAIiLED JAEGERS leaving the area on 17th of June. They were climbing high and heading South. Since then They have been sighted at K.Pt. during nice weather flying past Kettle Point about 15 feet above the water and dipping down to pick up items of interest of them from the water surface. around that date. It might be a useful gambit to look at the Gt Lakes on nice days in and after mid June to casually look out over the water to see if any Long-tails are around.

I did not see it but rather a friend of mine saw it soaring 20ft above pine plantation as he was mowing his lawn near intersection of 12th Conc. and Klondike Rd. He described it as the most obvious and distinct a bird he had ever seen, roughly size of an osprey, white underneath with black wings with long forked tail. He also mentioned to me that there was a post on a local bird sightings board from another individual that saw/described the same bird in the same area. Sorry those are all the details I have. Those in the area or that are heading up to see the Reddish Egret may want to be on the lookout. Directions - N on Hwy 400 to Barrie, east on Hwy 26 to Sunnidale Corners, N on Klondike Park Rd.

[Ontbirds] Western Sandpiper
Jean Iron and I just saw the Western at Presquile. It’s at Owen Point, lookout 5. Peregrines keep scaring the flock it’s in and it keeps returning. It’s close, but patience is required to separate it from the Semipalms. Presquile P P is near Brighton. Take the 401 and head south to the lake.

Re: [Ontbirds] Presqu’ile Park: Western Sandpiper
5 peep species at Owen Point today with multiples of Baird’s, a couple of White-rumps and the Western. Nice long decurved bill, bright rufous scaps showing next to the folded wing, came quite close for some good photos. At least one possibly two Peregrines patrolling the beach and putting the birds up regularly. Watched it catch a shorebird out on Gull Island. Also a Red Knot out on the island as well.

[Ontbirds] Snowy Egret near Rondeau Sunday
Hi everyone, The snowy egret that I found Friday at Keith McLean’s Conservation Area is still present in the area but is moving around quite a bit. Yesterday, two observers had it land for 10 minutes or so in the conservation area but it wasn’t seen otherwise. Today, I found it with 8 great egrets on the mud in the northwest corner of the bay. I was scoping them from Rondeau Joe’s restaurant, just outside Rondeau Park. Eventually, the flock flew SW to the community of Rondeau Estates where they landed on the rocky point at the bend of Marine Park Drive. I got photos when I drove there and Keith Burk was able to get there in time to see it. Fisherman flushed them and they flew a ways along the shoreline to the SW where they are still visible from Rondeau Estates. Unfortunately, this is a long ways away and a powerful scope is necessary. There isn’t much public parking in Rondeau Estates but it might be worth checking there for this bird. Hopefully it goes back to the Conservation Area where it was originally found. Directions: Rondeau Estates Line is about a km from the end of Kent Bridge Rd. Turn right, follow it to Marine Park Drive, turn left and go to the bay. Keith McLean Conservation Area is a few hundred metres past Rondeau Estates Line on the left. Look for the sign and parking area. Follow the walking trail along the bean field to the corn field. Wetland to the east. Rondeau Joe’s is on the right side of the road just before you enter Rondeau Park. Lots of parking here. Scope the opposite shoreline.
