Greetings birders,
My sister Tina and I went birding at the Laurel Creek Conservation area
this morning. The reservoir yielded 40+ ring-necked ducks, several
American widgeons, and a pair of Ruddy ducks. Tina first heard the
sandhill crane and then we spotted it high in the air after some
searching. It circled the reservoir for a good 5 minutes but for some
reason (hopefully not us!) it decided it was not worthy of a stop and
continued on in a northeastery direction.
Good birding,
Lisa Den Besten
To get to Laurel Creek from the 401, take the highway 8 exit to
Kitchener, then the exit for the 7/8 west. Take the Fischer Hallman
exit and turn left onto Fischer Hallman. Follow the street until it
turns into Bearinger Road. We walked the path that runs along Bearinger.
