Hi everyone from BCW, I know that this may be a little off subject of the bird, I am asking those who happen to come across our slower road crossing turtles to take a little caution, today someone tried to straddle a good size snapper only to hit the fairly big turtle on the under carriage of the car. The turtle is know at the Kawartha Turtle Trauma center, who new. Our Osprey has not moved of the nest the last two time I had to take my samples and dad took a couple of fly by's and then went back to his favorite tree and keeps a close eye on us, this is a first for me to not have the osprey leave the nest. As for our other birds, they are in abundance, and young birds abound. Thanks for your time, and my time is always available to you.

Hi everyone one from the Municipality of Brighton The 2013 season is upon us and I hope to see some of you this year at the BCW (Brighton Constructed Wetlands), I have dropped the water in the south cell to help with growth but also to help attract some shore birds. May I also request that when you enter the Wetlands that you have your Pass with you. Since those who get the pass have sign the waiver and check our rules for entry. Any Municipal employee can request to see your permit. The Osprey have returned and are on eggs. George and Gracey get very upset when you stand under their nest for any length of time, so please respect their nest site by staying back a reasonable distance. This nest is now registered as #476 on the Osprey Watch. Thanks everyone Keith Tiny Lee cell number for contact is 613-849-8920 ___ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.

I have to admit that I don't carry my bird book with me so I had to double check what I had seen as well as confirmation from others. A solitary Wimbrel in the north cell. If you have been there (BCW) you will have noticed that the north cell is drawn down to help kick start some new growth, there are plenty of shore birds very visible from the viewing station but entry with a permit is still available. If any birding tours are coming to the Wetlands please let me know.

It has come to my attention that some Birding tour groups would like to enter the Constructed Wetlands Anyone wanting to bring a group to the Constructed Wetland must contact me privately for permission. I will need the time and date you will be entering and you must either be a registered birding/naturalist organization or be a Tour leader of your own birding/naturalist company. I will need a list of persons entering At no time is permission to the north sewage lagoons allowed without my approval. Viewing of the North sewage Lagoon can be viewed from the outside the Main gate.
