The Red-necked Phalarope was in the last cell of the Holland Landing lagoons this afternoon. There were many peeps - mostly Least Sandpipers, a few Short-billed Dowitcher, many Lesser Yellowlegs, several Killdeer and one Semipalmated Plover.
DIRECTIONS: ( From Ron Fleming) The Holland Landing lagoons are just north of Newmarket, which in turn is about 30 minutes directly north of Toronto. >From Davis Drive/Hwy.9 in mid-Newmarket, turn north at the lights on Yonge Street (the Upper Canada Mall will be on the NW side of this busy intersection). Drive past all the "big box" stores in the north part of Newmarket (past Tim Horton's, Canadian Tire, Home Depot, Future Shop, Costco, Silvercity Cinemas,etc.) and past the Victory Church to the stoplights beside Brooklin Concrete and the Newmarket Inn (this is about 2 km north of Green Lane). Turn right into Holland Landing and follow the curving descent to the lights at the bridge (don't take the left near the bottom of the hill). The bridge crosses the railway tracks, then the East Holland River. Go north past Mount Albert Rd. You will be on Old Yonge Street. Keep going north through town, past Beckett Ave. You will go through a little curve in the road where there are conifer stands on both sides, then you will pass Doane Rd. on the right. About a km after that you will see two white wagon wheels and a Maximum 60 sign; this is Cedar St. Turn right (east) and follow it to the dead end.
