Ontbirds subscribers, For those considering searching for the Curlew Sandpiper at the Townsend sewage lagoons, I just received a call from Winnie Poon and Roy Smith who told me that it was still present at the lagoons at 9:17 p.m. when they left the area. Directions to Townsend sewage lagoons (as per Cheryl Edgecombe's prior post):For Townsend Lagoons turn right from Highway 6 to # 69 to Townsend. Turnleft on Keith Richardson Parkway. Go to Concession 14, turn right and goabout 750 m. Lagoons are on your right.

Birders, Have just arrived home from seeing the Curlew Sandpiper still actively feeding till near dark. The general concencous amongst myself and other birders there, is that it is a female type bird, or maybe a young bird, not in High Breeding Plumage, for those trying to re-locate it tomorrow. At times when it flew and relocated, it took time to find it again, amongst the many Dunlin present. A great find by James. Directions to Townsend: (From Hamilton) For Townsend Sewage Lagoons, turn right from Hwy 6 to #69 to Townsend. Turn left on Keith Richardson Parkway. Go to concession 14, turn right and go about 750 m. Lagoons are on your right. Good luck and hopefully the bird is still there tomorrow! Cheers, Dave Don.

Pursued by a red wing blackbird, the bird flew from the south side of the lake west of the boat house to the north side, west of Eaton Hall and just east of the north side osprey platform. I checked the area where it disappeared into the trees but did not see it later. Bob Hawkins Directions: Seneca College's King campus is reached off King side road, east of Highway 400, and then north on Dufferin about 2 km. Eaton Hall is on the north side of the contained lake. The area where the Pileated disappeared into the trees is reached by hiking past Eaton Hall toward the ski center and then going southward on the white ski trail. There is a charge for admission to the campus.
