This morning (May 31), Michael Dawber photographed a SAGE THRASHER near Rainy River.
Here are the directions he has generously provided: Directions are: from Highway 11, take Morley-Dilke Road north for about 15 mins. (NB: Morley-Dilke changes name to Nelles-Patullo Road once you cross Nelles-Dilke Road.) The Thrasher was on the west side of Nelles-Patullo south of the first bridge over the Pinewood River. If you reach the bridge, you've overshot. There is a lot of old pasture on the west side there.
