LeConte's Sparrow - North Lambton Greetings birders, I birded all day between Kettle Point and Grand Bend Sewage Lagoon today. Kettle Point (9am - 130 pm) 3 Little gulls (2 imm. 1 ad.) 3 Red-throated loons 3 black scoters 6 white winged scoters 1 snow bunting 1 immature lesser black backed gull 1 adult great black backed gull 6 immature common terns Grand bend Sewage Lagoon (afternoon - dusk) Almost all shorebirds were in the first cell. The 4th cell had a few shorebirds in it, while the 3rd cell had the most waterfowl action. If you just want to see shorebirds I would just check out the first cell. Shorebirds were similar in numbers to Jeff Skevington's post, plus a Wilson's snipe. The Long-billed dowitcher was gone. The 2 juvenile Hudsonian Godwits WERE still there. While leaving the lagoons, there is a weedy meadow just before the gate. It was to my right that I happened upon a LeConte's sparrow, just after passing a small pile of concrete slabs and just before getting to the gate. It is a juvenile so it appears rather unusual and is also fairly worn. Good birding Tim Snieder Guelph
