Scott Jennex, Robert Epstein and I birded today along the Lake Huron
shoreline from Sarnia to Grand Bend. Viewing conditions were optimal
on the lake with flat waters and bright sunshine. Those conditions
aided us in seeing 14 Red-throated Loons off the beach at Grand
Bend. Also seen at that locale was an adult Little Gull. We
checked out the Grand Bend sewage lagoons. The long staying
Hudsonian Godwit was still present in the first pond. Other
shorebirds present were one White-rumped Sandpiper, a Greater
Yellowlegs and 18 Dunlin. Other shorebirds today for us where
singles of Greater Yellowlegs and Wilson's Snipe at Kettle Point.
Scott Jennex had a Pectoral Sandpiper at the Bright's Groove sewage
lagoons near Sarnia.
We had two more Red-throated Loons on Lake Huron off of Highland Glen
Conservation Area.
The Grand Bend sewage lagoons are reached by going approximately 1
kilometer east of Grand Bend on highway 81 to Mollard Line and then
going right for approximately 2 kilometers to the sewage lagoons on
the right.
