We left the pond this morning around 11:30, as the bird had just been spooked by a Sharp shinned hawk., and this put the bird out of my cameras range., but it was still viewable on the far side of the pond. I did have one foot and leg down in the mud almost up to my knee, so photographers beware.

It is best to park in the front of the hydro utility station on Olympic Drive (near the intersection with Cootes Drive) in Dundas. To reach the pond follow the north side of the Desjardins Canal on the east side of the road. There is a small trail that leads through a dense stand of Phragmites grass for 200 - 300 m. You then reach the medium sided pond where the bird was seen.
