[Ontbirds] Yellow Rail - Carden Alvar
At 7:00 PM today Barb Charlton, Hugh Currie, Gerry Shemilt and I heard a Yellow Rail ticking in the previously reported location, 400 meters north of the intersection of Wylie and McNamee Roads in the Carden Alvar. Earlier in the day, Barb and I saw the previously reported Hudsonian Godwit north of Schomberg. It was still present (along with a White-rumped Sandpiper and several common species) when we left at 2:30 PM. I took some photos which I`ll post on my blog (joshvandermeulen.blogspot.com) in the morning. Directions: Yellow Rail: Go north of Kirkfield on Kirkfield Road 6 past the liftlock to McNamee. Turn right then immediately left onto Wylie Road and go north, 4/10ths of a km of the west side. Kirkfield is about an hour and 45 minute drive North East of Toronto. Ron Pittaway's Carden Alvar Birding Guide is on the OFO website: http://www.ofo.ca/reportsandarticles/cardenalvar.php Hudsonian Godwit: From HWY 400, take exit 55 (HWY 9). Travel west on HWY 9, then turn right after about 7 km onto Regional Road 27 (Bradford Street). The bird was in a small pond on the west side of the road in the middle of the S curve.

Heard a Yellow Rail ticking today, May 17, 2012 at 4:30 p.m. just where Judy Kennedy heard one on Monday-- on the Bluebird Ranch on the west side of Wylie Road, 0.4 kms north of the intersection with McNamee. It seemed to be about 25 metres off the road. Didn't have time to go up to Sedge Wren Marsh. Directions: Go north of Kirkfield on Kirkfield Road 6 past the liftlock to McNamee. Turn right then immediately left onto Wylie Road and go north, 4/10ths of a km of the west side.

The Yellow Rail reported earlier is still being heard at the marsh on Wylie Rd. Tonight it could be heard from 8:25 until at least 8:50 to the south of the bridge on the east side. Borrowing from Kevin Shackleton's directions in a previous post: Directions: Hwy/CR 48 to the centre of Kirkfield then north on CR 6 to McNamee Road where a right turn is made and a short distance travelled to Wylie Road.? Then turn left and go north to the marsh. There is a small amount of parking just to the south of the marsh, and please don't park on the bridge as you will block traffic of anyone wishing to pass.

On Saturday evening 30 April at 8:50 and again at 9:06 p.m., Eleanor Beagan and I heard a Yellow Rail at the Sedge Wren Marsh on Wylie Road. It was ticking about 20 metres west of the bridge. The next 3-4 weeks are the best time to listen for Yellow Rails as they migrate mainly to the coastal marshes of James Bay. Least Bittern: one male seen and heard in the cattail marsh on the south side of Canal Lake. See yesterday's photos via my signature link. Loggerhead Shrike: a pair west of Bluebird box 10 on Wylie Road. Some Other Birds: Upland Sandpiper, Wilson's Snipe perched on posts and doing aerial displays, Eastern Meadowlark, Eastern Towhee, Brown Thrasher, Eastern Bluebird, American Bittern, Sora and Virginia Rail heard at Sedge Wren Marsh, one Marsh Wren (not Sedge Wren) at the Sedge Wren Marsh. Sedge Wrens should return soon.

Maureen Smith and I birded Carden very early this morning (May 5) and heard the Yellow Rail at the NW corner of the Sedge Wren Marsh on Wylie Rd. American Bitterns were calling, but no wrens (marsh or sedge). The Loggerhead Shrikes were behind Bluebird box 10 on Wylie Rd. and their were many Upland Sandpipers (over 20 seen). There was a Grasshopper Sparrow north (1 km?) of the marsh. Eastern Kingbirds have arrived in good numbers. Very few warblers, but did find one nice male Blackburnian. Soras were found on Prospect Rd. directions: Wylie Rd: From Kirkfield go north on Co. Rd. 6, past the Lift Lock then east on McNamee and immediately go north on Wylie Rd. Prospect Rd: From Kirkfield go west on Co. Rd. 48. Prospect is the 2nd concession road to the south. There are 2 marshes (Sora in both), both north of Eldon Station Rd.

[Ontbirds]Yellow Rail-Carden
Hi All, This morning at 6:50 a.m., Monday May 2, Maureen Smith and I heard a Yellow Rail at the Sedge Wren Marsh on Wylie Road in the Carden Plain. A Loggerhead Shrike was south of Bluebird Box #10. Lots of Upland Sandpipers and Wilson's Snipe. Our trip was cut short by a broken pair of binoculars (quickly fixed by Bushnell in Richmond Hill under the warranty) so we didn't get to look for sparrows. Directions. Go north from Kirkfield on the Kirkfield Rd under the lift lock and continue north until the road turn to the left. Here you turn right onto McNamee Rd and then immediately turn left onto Wylie Rd. Proceed north to the marsh. Park just before the marsh and walk to the bridge. The rail was heard to the NW of the bridge. Anne Anthony Peterborough
