Jean Iron, Ron Pittiway and myself birded the lagoons today in both the morning and evening (along with a handfull of other observers throughout the day), and did not see the Little Stint.
Migrant Juvenile Shorebirds today included Least Sandpiper(2) , Semipalmated Sandpiper(1), Lesser Yellowlegs(1) and Greater Yellowlegs(1). 13 shorebird species here in 2 days, and habitat should get better if it ever stops raining. 4-5 Sora and 1 Virginia Rail were noted today as well. Good Birding! Brandon --___Townsend Lagoons: When visiting the lagoons, please park AWAY from the gates (either side of the road), to allow the large tanker trucks easy passage. Directions to Townsend's sewage lagoon - Take 403 Hamilton exiting at 6 south. Follow 6 around Caledonia, through Hagersville turning right at Nanticoke Creek Parkway. Follow the Parkway into Townsend and turn left onto Keith Richardson's Parkway. Turn right at Concession 14 Townsend Rd and the lagoons are on the right between the first and second farms on the right hand side. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
