[Ontbirds] Great Egret - Stratford

[Steve Thorpe]

There is a single Great Egret in the newly constructed cattail marsh at the 
east end of Lake Victoria in central Stratford.  Harald Scholz found it last 
Thusday and it has been seen daily since then.  Today it had the close company 
of a Great Blue Heron.

 

The cattail marsh has proved popular with resident and migrant birds and is a 
good place to look if you happen to be in Stratford.

Directions: From Ontario Street (Hwy 7/8) travel north on Queen Street to the 
lake.  Turn right on Lakeside Drive and park on your right.  Walk east to the 
Festival Bridge and observe the marsh to the east.

[Ontbirds]Great Egret - Stratford

[Steve Thorpe]

There was a single Great Egret near the ponds on the north side of Gallery 
Stratford this morning.  On Lake Victoria, about 500 m west of that were 2 
Double-crested Cormorants, the first of the season.

Gallery Stratford is on Romeo Street about 0.5 km north of Ontario Street (Hwy 
7/8) in Stratford.  Lake Victoria can be reached from Ontario Street by 
travelling north on Front Street to Lakeside Drive.
