Hi to all from the wetlands, Junior and Hunter are only days away from flight trying their wings in between the constant incoming of food from the parents you can usually see one of the parents just of the right of the nest in the tree which would be very visible even from the viewing platform, the Rails all have young, and I have found another pair in the south cell near the Osprey nest pole, shore birds are starting to show up in the now shallow water of the wetland.
Since almost all of the visitors I am getting are on Sundays I will be cutting back on the Friday nights unless I get confirmation of anyone wishing to visit. Please don't hesitate to call or e-mail I will be open on Sundays from 9 to 11 AM, until further notice. Cell 613-391-9142 Home 613-475-0881 keith.lee(at)sympatico.ca Directions: The Constructed Wetland is located at the SE corner of Brighton. From Hwy 401, take the Brighton exit 509 (Hwy. 30) and follow it south into town. Go south through the two traffic lights, over the railway tracks and follow the main road, now called Prince Edward Street, south. About 1 km south of the tracks, the main road begins to swing to the left and becomes Cty. Rd. 64. As this long turn ends the Constructed Wetlands appear on the right side. Look for the Wetland viewing sign at the east end of the Wetland. Parking is on the shoulder of the road, please do not drive in. Thanks everyone Keith "Tiny" Lee _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
