It continues to fish in the marshy bit to the North. In the same area, I also saw a Green Heron on the rocky strip which traverses the lake. It flew up into a tree at a thunder crack, and then I lost sight of it. Also seen on the lake today were three Double-Crested Cormorants, a couple of Kingfishers, and at least six Great Blue Herons. Earlier in the week at Columbia, I spotted two Caspian Terns, and one of each of the Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs.

One individual is banded with a red plastic band above the left knee. No numbers were visible. I contacted Chip Weseloh at the Canadian Wildlife Service, and he suggested that the bird is one which was banded on Nottawasaga Island near Collingwood. Columbia Lake is just North of the University of Waterloo, near the intersection of Columbia and Westmount Streets. The Egrets were in the marshy area in the north part of the lake. They were in amongst about ten Great Blue Herons. To get to Columbia Lake in Waterloo, take 401 to highway 8 and head North. Then take the 85 North to University Avenue. Go East on University until you get to Albert Street, then turn North (right) and proceed to Columbia. Turn East (left) on Columbia and proceed to Hagey Blvd., then go left on Frank Tompa Drive. There is a parking area at the end of the paved section near Brubacher House, and a trail to the lake front.

This is Chris Lewis reporting. Shorebird migration is the lead story in this week's bird report. 10 species were noted from various locations around the Ottawa area, with the highest concentrations so far along the rapidly receding shorelines of the Ottawa River, especially at Andrew Haydon Park and Shirley's Bay. A WHIMBREL was seen on the sandbar at the east end of Andrew Haydon on the 22nd, as well as the 1st report of Semipalmated Plover. From the 20th through the 22nd, the mudflats on the west side of the Shirley's Bay causeway hosted small but increasing numbers of Greater Yellowlegs among over 100 Lesser Yellowlegs, as well as least 10 Solitary Sandpipers, and increasing numbers of both Semipalmated and Least Sandpipers. Some of these species were also noted at the Russell sewage lagoons, where the habitat in the 1st cell is excellent, as well as the "Dignard Managed Wetland" northwest of Embrun. The Embrun sewage lagoons currently have high water levels, therefore NOT good habitat for shorebirds, however a male Redhead was a nice find here on the 20th, and up to 14 Upland Sandpipers were in the field on the southeast side of the lagoons the same day. A reminder re: access to some of the aforementioned locations....the Shirley's Bay causeway is on Dept. of National Defence property - please call the Range Control Office a 613-991-5740 for permission to bird along the causeway. The Dignard location is on a private farm property at the corner of Route 300 and Regional Rd. 28. Also of interest, an adult Black-crowned Night Heron was hanging out with 2 Green Herons on the Rideau Canal below the Arboretum of the Central Experimental Farm on the 18th, single LEAST BITTERNS were reported from Petrie Island and the Marais aux Grenouillettes on the 20th and 23rd respectively, several Virginia and Sora Rails were noted at Shirley's Bay on the 22nd, and there were 6 adult Bonaparte's Gulls on the sandbar at the east end of Andrew Haydon Park, and at least 24 Common Terns at Shirley's Bay the same day. One adult and 2 immature Lesser Black-backed Gulls were at the Deschenes rapids on the 20th, and a 1st summer bird was in the large quarry pond along Moodie Dr. south of Trail Rd. on the 16th. Slightly farther afield, 2 SANDHILL CRANES were in a field near Perth along the Christie Lake Rd. before De Witt's Corners on the 23rd. Thank you - Good Birding! - End transcript
