Hello: Between 3 and 4 pm today (Tuesday), I found the following species at the Brights Grove Sewage lagoons:
Horned Grebe's (2, west pond) Blue-Winged Teal(around six or so, west pond) Northern Shoveler's (at least a dozen , west pond) Lesser Scaup (West and North-east ponds) Ring-necked Ducks (west pond) Bufflehead (west pond) Bonapart Gulls (maily in the South-East pond, but moving about) Mallards Canada Goose (a few appeared to be sitting on nests, with at least one containing several eggs) Other species present: Turkey Vulture Killdeer Song Sparrow the Brights Grove Sewage Lagoons are located on the south side of Lakeshore Rd, east of the village of Brights Grove (near Sarnia). From the 402, travel north on Mandaumin Rd (CR 26) to Lakeshore rd (CR 7). Turn left, and travel to the fisrt driveway on the left (south side of the road). Do not block the gate or the trail. The gate will be shut, but there is no lock, only an S-hook and chain. Close the gate behind you when you enter and leave.

Kingston Region Apr. 4 & Apr. 5 X-BeenThere: [email protected] X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 06 Apr 2004 23:22:14 -0000 The KFN Sharon David reported: "I observed a Tufted Titmouse at my feeder here on Howe Island at 5PM EST today, April 4. I suspect it might be the same bird seen at Cartright Point last weekend." P.S. from Sharon: "I saw the Titmouse again this afternoon at 5:40 P. M. (Apr. 5 assumed) It seems to prefer feeding on the sunflower seed feeder hanging in the cedars on the roadside of the house." Directions: [page 36, quad D57] The ferry dock for Howe I. is at the south end of the Joyceville Rd. The ferry fee is about $2. It debarks at the north end of Howe Island Dr. Turn right onto Baseline Rd. & drive left onto Good Friend Rd. which leads to Havenwood Trail. The TUFTED TITMOUSE is around 80 Havenwood Trail. RED-BELLIED WOODPECKERS are usually also in the same area.
