Port Burwell, ON
Today, two Whimbrels were seen foraging in the grass flats on the west
side of Big Otter Creek in Port Burwell.
One of these two is slightly crippled in one leg, and must be the sane
one reported on September 22nd last.
One of the two flushed and flew southwards towards the lake. Based on
previous observation, it is likely to return to the other one.
Sincerely,
Joe Stephenson
Directions:
Port Burwell is at the southern terminus of Hwy 19 (Plank Road) south
of Tillsonburg, ON.
The harbour area is easy to locate in this small town. There is a
municipal beach on the east side of the harbour. On the west side
there also is a public parking area near the harbour mouth which is
near where the Whimbrels were seen today.
