Large numbers of Lesser Yellowlegs and Semipalmated Sandpipers - part of a total of 13 shorebird species. Did not spot Western Sandpiper. Mark Cranford cranford at allstream.net Mississauga, Ont. DIRECTIONS (Courtesy of NM) TOWNSEND SEWAGE LAGOONS On the way down to Long Point on Hwy 6 you will pass through Hagersville and drive towards Jarvis. Just as you approach the town of Jarvis you will see a sign indicating "TOWNSEND" at Nanticoke Creek Parkway #69. Turn right here and drive to the intersection with the stop signs, turn left on Keith Richardson Parkway and drive past some park ponds on your right. Drive ahead until you see a small children's shelter (with an air conditioner on it) on your right at County Rd 14. This is just before you reach the abandoned railway line (tracks removed). Turn right here onto County Rd 14. and drive a few hundred yards and you will see a gate and sign indicating that this is a waste treatment area.. Park well to the side of the road, do not block the gate. If the gate is open (they are on some weekends) then do not park directly across from the gate as the larger "Honey Trucks" need the area to swing into and out of the entrance road. These lagoons are USUALLY only accessible on the weekend or after 6pm during the week. If asked to leave or not enter then please be respectful and comply as it seems that for now we are being tolerated. -- Mark Cranford cranford AT allstream DOT net Mississauga, Ontario From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Aug 2 21:02:31 2004 Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Delivered-To: [email protected] Received: from tomts5-srv.bellnexxia.net (tomts5.bellnexxia.net [209.226.175.25]) by king.hwcn.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 87BB6481F4 for <[email protected]>; Mon, 2 Aug 2004 21:02:31 -0400 (EDT) Received: from sympatico.ca ([209.226.250.166]) by tomts5-srv.bellnexxia.net (InterMail vM.5.01.06.10 201-253-122-130-110-20040306) with ESMTP id <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for <[email protected]>; Mon, 2 Aug 2004 21:14:49 -0400 Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 02 Aug 2004 21:12:45 -0400 From: Doug McRae <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.77C-CCK-MCD {C-UDP; EBM-APPLE} (Macintosh; U; PPC) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: ont birds <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; x-mac-type="54455854"; x-mac-creator="4D4F5353" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: [Ontbirds]Forster's Tern at Presqu'ile X-BeenThere: [email protected] X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 03 Aug 2004 01:02:31 -0000 Greetings all, Today, 2 August, Bruce Di Labio and I saw a first-summer Forster's Tern on the first gravel island offshore from Owen Pt. late this afternoon. Shorebirds are still thin on the ground, and the level of Lake Ontario is actually rising (!), reducing the habitat further. The only shorebirds seen were 2 Spotted and 4 Sanderling. The Owen Pt. trail is pretty wet from the recent heavy rains and it is buggy so wear long pants and long sleeve shirts if you plan to stand still! Cheers, Doug McRae Directions: To reach Presqu'ile take the Brighton exit from Hwy 401, and follow it south into Brighton. From there follow the signs to Presqu'ile.
