Oblivious to the sounds of the construction of the new Presqu'ile Marsh Boardwalk, just 30 feet away, two male great egrets put on displays and battled for territory on the edge of the marsh east of the main park road on Thursday. Magnificent!
Construction will end shortly as the nesting season in the marsh begins and start again next winter. Since June 2007, $240,000. of required $360,000. has been raised, in part thanks to a very generous initial donation by local birdwatcher Audrey E. Wilson of Cobourg (now dealing with a very serious illness).
