Hi Ontbirders:
The American White Pelican is still at the Moodie Drive
Quarry Pond this afternoon. It seemed contentedly perched right next to the
Cormorants grooming itself. Also at the same location is a Great Egret feeding
directly across from the gate. This was at 3:20pm. After about 10 minutes it
disappeared (while I was watching the Pelican) likely moving just around the
corner and out of view. After birding some other places I returned about 2
hours later (5:30pm or thereabouts) and the Pelican was in the exact same spot
with the Cormorants and the Great Egret was once again seen feeding in the same
spot as earlier. Happy birding.
W.H.

>From Highway 416 take exit 66 (Fallowfield Road). If southbound, a
0.4 km offramp dumps onto Fallowfield, where you will turn right or
west. If northbound, the 0.4 km offramp brings you to Fallowfield,
where you will turn left or west onto it and in 0.5 km join the
southbound offramp traffic. Both groups will now follow Fallowfield
Road west for an additional 0.4 km to reach Moodie Drive. Turn left
or southeast onto Moodie Drive and go 5.3 km, passing Cambrian Road
to reach the quarries (second gate on the left).
