Hi All, Today, Monday Aug. 20, my wife & I visited the Grimsby Sewage Lagoons from 1:30-2:30 PM.
A first year Black Tern was observed flying above the south pond. Many swallows were annoyed with its presence and pestered the tern as it flew back & forth over the pond. An immature Black-crowned Night-Heron was also observed flying over the south pond. In the north pond, we observed the following: 16 Short-billed Dowitcher 10 Lesser Yellowlegs 16 Caspian Tern Least Sandpiper Killdeer Directions: Exit Fifty Rd. from the QEW, head north on Fifty Rd. Turn right at the N. Service Rd. and then turn left onto Kelson Ave. N. Turn right on Winston Rd. The lagoons are located on the left hand side between the MND lands and the radio towers. There will be a regional building with a small area for parking. Park off to the side of the building. Footpaths are visible behind the building and will lead you to the two lagoons.
