Today at 12:30 and at 2:30 pm I observed a singing male Dickcissel.
Directions: Ferndale is between Wiarton and Tobermory on Hwy 6 in the middle
of the Bruce Peninsula. At the intersection in Ferndale go west (I think it is
called Burma Road) for about 1km. It was singing near the road and in the field
to the south side just before the hay balls wrapped in white plastic.

Hello Fellow Birders,
It's been an extremely interesting week at the Hullett Marsh. Sightings have
been spectacular of Least Bittern, Black Tern, Great Egret, Sandhill Cranes
(which are most likely nesting) and a VERY LATE Tundra Swan.
LEAST BITTERN: was seen flying from a large cattail patch east of Front Rd.
across the road and towards the center of the marsh. This is the first record
of a spotting of the bird, made by myself, for this year. It's been heard on
numerous occasions however.
BLACK TERN: Seen foraging for food, skimming the water in the SW corner of the
Bluebill Pool. The bird seems to favour the west-hand side of the pool. It
has been seen fairly regularly lately.
GREAT EGRET: One seen yesterday in the Butterball Pool. One to three have be
spotted there this week and last by staff here. In past years 20-24 have been
seen per day and about 10 in one spot!
TUNDRA SWAN: There is one VERY LATE Tundra Swan in the marsh. An immature
Tundra is hanging out in the Butterball Pool - with the Egret.
A multitude of Great Blue Herons can be found everywhere at Hullett, as well
Virginia Rail, Sora, American Bittern, Coots, and the odd Ruddy Duck are heard
and/or seen.
Good Birding!
Scot
