Some 22 species of lovely wood warblers have now graced the North Bay area,
most of them at the Laurier Woods reserve area, within the centre of North
Bay.
But, perhaps most unusually, the Callander lagoon, easterly cell is just
about perfect for migrating shorebirds at the moment. Some 50 dowitchers,
(most of them, if not all, short-billed) were there today, while Stilt, and
Solitary Sandpipers, Dunlin, Wilson's Phalarope, and some 7 other, perhaps
more common, shore-birds have been visiting there also recently. What next?
The Callander lagoon is at the northerly edge of Osprey Links road,
running due west for about one mile, just to the north of the town of
Callander, just south of North Bay, - which is 3 1/2 stop-light free hours
north of Toronto.
