Hello Ontbirders
7:20 pm, at the Moodie Drive Quarry Ponds, there was an American
White Pelican.
It was still present at 8:30pm.
For the entire time, it rested on the small island in the south end
of the main pond.
Also present were 3 Red-necked Phalaropes in the centre of the pond.
And, at least two Black-legged Kittiwakes, one flying close to Moodie
Drive.

From Highway 416 take exit 66 (Fallowfield Road). If southbound, a
0.4 km offramp dumps onto Fallowfield, where you will turn right or
west. If northbound, the 0.4 km offramp brings you to Fallowfield,
where you will turn left or west onto it and in 0.5 km join the
southbound offramp traffic. Both groups will now follow Fallowfield
Road west for an additional 0.4 km to reach Moodie Drive. Turn left
or southeast onto Moodie Drive and go 5.3 km, passing Cambrian Road
to reach the quarries (second gate on the left). Park along the side
of the road without blocking the access.
Warning: This site is private property and is an active quarry.
Because of liability concerns the pit operators do not allow access
during working hours. Trucks and machinery operate here on workdays,
so please don't block the roads into the quarry. At such times,
limited birding can be accomplished from the roadside, which
overlooks the pond, especially with a good scope.
Good Luck, and Good Birding
