EURASIAN COLLARED-DOVE first observed at 9:30a.m. in the area of the Marysville Church on highway 2. It was seen on top of the church and on top of the house just west of the church and was seen twice on the north side of the highway on the hydro lines as well as the spruce trees at the house across from the church. It was later relocated at 10:30a.m. with Albert Boisvert. The bird called frequently. Also birded Carden Plain, but Mother Nature prevented the YELLOW RAILS from calling. Did hear 2 SEDGE WRENS though.
Take 401 Hwy to exit 566 and go south on Hwy 49 to Old Hwy 2 and then right on Hwy 2, for 2.7 km. to the Marysville Catholic Church. >From Kirkfield on Highway 48 east of Lake Simcoe, proceed north on County Road 6. At 2.6 km past the Kirkfield Lift Lock, turn right (east) on McNamee Road where County Road 6 turns sharply to the left. Then turn left almost immediately on Wylie Road. Proceed north.
