This afternoon I visited the McKinnon Road section of Minesing Swamp.
The area is again severely flooded !
Numerous Mallards, Black and Wood ducks with a few BW Teal were found.
Many Yellowlegs of both species as well as 1 female Wilson's Phalarope and 2
Solitary Sandpipers.
At least 10 Sora Rails were seen or heard.
A Black Tern flew over the area as did 2 Sandhill Cranes.
Directions : From the town of Angus (west of Barrie) take Co Rd 90 east to
McKinnon. Go north to the end of the road.
