Hi Everyone,
Yesterday, August 20, birded a number of the eastern lagoons.
Overall, very little shorebird habitat, but observed 9 Red-necked
Phalaropes in total at Alfred, St. Isidore and Casselman sewage lagoons. The
Ruddy Duck numbers were impressive with a total of 228 birds. Didn't have
any luck with the Little Blue Heron seen earlier at High Falls Conservation
Area. If you require additional information, please email me privately.
good birding
