Hi All, A male Long-tailed Duck was seen this afternoon, about 3:30 p.m, at the Strathroy Sewage Lagoons. It was swimming with hundreds of Ruddy Ducks in the pond on the left as you enter the lagoons. Also seen in the pond on the left were Bonaparte Gulls.
On the pond on the right were Buffleheads, Scaup, Northern Shoveller, Canvasback and a Pied-billed Grebe. To and from the lagoons we spotted 2 American Kestrels.

This was quickly confirmed by two OPP officiers who pulled up beside us to find out what we were doing and seemed to know about the cranes there, so they moved on. Directions: Hwy 7 to Carleton Place. Turn right onto main st of CP(Bridge Street) and go right thru town until you come to the townline rd lights (4th croos street after crossing the mighty mississippi river. Go straight thru lights and the next stop sign is Ramsay 7A. Turn right onto Ramsay 7A and head north several kms. They will be on the right hand side by water in a open pasture maybe 200 m before Drummond Side Rd crosses Ramsay 7A good luck iain and susan
