A Snowy Egret was observed around 11AM this morning on the central causeway at the Brighton Constructed Wetlands. Also of note was a Least Bittern and at least three Sora.
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. As an aside the Piping Plovers ... two! ... were observed on Beach 3 at Presqu'ile Provincial Park... directions to which are well documented throughout Brighton. Dennis G.
