Hi,
Checked out the Dundas Marsh yesterday evening (Sat), but had no luck
with the Ruff, though there are lots places for it to hide! There was an
American Bittern seen in the first pond, just before I arrived.
This morning (Sun) the Eurasion Collared-Dove was easily found by its
constant vocalisations and display flights, at one point it tried to
mate with a Mourning Dove, to no avail.
At about 10am I located 1 adult Red-headed Woodpecker calling to a
juvenile southwest of the village of Sheffield, as previously had been
reported by Ross Reid.
The 2 birds were seen on 5th Conc W, between Sager Rd, and Sheffield Rd,
by blue house # 2437, which has a nice stand of Oak trees there.
Dundas Marsh can be best accessed of Cootes Drive in Dundas, following
the trail East of the the Creek.
The Dove can be easily be located at the intersection of Fifty Rd and
Ridge Rd in Grimsby. Fifty Rd can be accessed off the QEW, in Grimsby.
Good luck,
Dave Don

There appears to be a YH Blackbird(female) in the 3rd cell of the GBLagoons.
The bird is hanging with a large flock of Redwings that spend much of their
time in the ground cover on the north side of the cell.
Lagoons are on Mollard line just east of Grand Bend..
Rick Thornton,
at the lagoons...
