[Ontbirds] SBGU Brantford landfill Access
I have given my contact info to be passed to the supervisor at the Landfill and asked to be contacted as access changes. At the moment no birders are allowed to the dump face but you can access the dike road on the right just before the weigh scales. You do not need to sign in. It is a one lane road and I am not sure if it loops around the dump. We turned around so exercise caution doing that. Gulls are often in the field and can be viewed flying into the dump face. I’ll post when/ if I receive updates. You can also continue to check Mohawk Lake where they have also been seen. ellen Sent from my iPhone ___ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.

Despite much effort from numerous birders pounding the pavement the Townsend’s was not seen today between 10 and 4:15. It may still be around or expanded its area but was not to be for a number of disappointed birders traveling long distances.

Well worth the drive! What a lovely spot!

Continue on the gravel road, past the Ball Diamond, to the parking lot. From the West, follow Hwy 8 into Mitchell. At the bottom of the hill, turn RIGHT onto Hwy 23 South. Turn LEFT onto Frank Street (the last street on the left), over the bridge and up the hill. Turn RIGHT onto the gravel road at the Ball Diamond and follow it to the parking lot. From the South, follow Hwy 23 to Mitchell. Just past the blue Mitchell sign, turn RIGHT onto Frank Street (at the 50 km/h sign) and proceed over the bridge to the Ball Diamond.

[Ontbirds] Wilson's Phalarope Great Egrets Townsend Lagoons
One Wilson's Phalarope was seen this afternoon by Len Manning and Lisa Tesky and again around 7:50 this evening by Jerry and I in Cell#1. Pictures taken. 3 Great Egrets were in Cell#3 - flew before we had a chance to see if they were tagged - but were likely going to roost there. Many other shorebirds present. Townsend Sewage Lagoons are on Concession 14 just west of Haldimand road 74 - there is a gate across a gravel drive with a small parking area on the opposite side of the road. The gates are locked but you can walk around the gate to access the area. I think you are only supposed to access them on weekends - we went today at 6. ellen www.thesustainabilityadventure.blogspot.com ___ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
