Subject: [Ontbirds] Snowy Egret still present near mouth of Grand River
(Dunnville area), May 21
The Snowy Egret seen and reported earlier this weekend by Alan Wormington and
Josh Vandermeulen is still present this evening at the same location, in the
marsh beside the industrial plant and train tracks. Beautiful look as it preens
in late day sun. As of 6:30pm, it was sitting on top of the vegetation at far
side of pond.
Directions (as per Josh): Take N Shore Drive south from Dunnville and pass
through the town of Stromness. Take your first right, Rymer Road, and head west.
After turning on Rymer Road continue past the large ponds on the left (not
visible from road, but seen on Google maps). Pass through the tiny community of
Port Maitland, at which point the road curves to the left. After a few hundred
meters you will cross over train tracks and on the left there is a pond with a
high fence around it. The SNEG is in this wetland. This pond is about 2.5 km
from the intersection of Rymer and North Shore Drive.
