Hi folks, I stopped by Penn Lake in Marathon today (June 12, 2008 at 3:05pm) and observed and photographed a Marbled Godwit, feeding on the edge of a sandy island, in the middle of the southern portion of the lake. This bird flew twice when spooked by a running dog, allowing nice views of its cinnamon underwings. It was last seen at 3:30pm.
Penn Lake is located just off of Penn Lake Rd., on the east side of Marathon, Ontario. Marathon is located about 220km east of Thunderbay, ON. Good Birding Ken McIlwrick Sault Ste.
