The Neotropic Cormorant was still present at 5:00 p.m. today (Monday). It was perched on a mostly submerged bough on the far side of Muddy Creek about 100 m upstream (west) from the bridge that separates Muddy Creek from the Wheatley Harbour marina. There were first one and a half hour later three Double-crested Cormorant perched there with it, providing nice size comparisons. Directions: From Tilbury (south side of Hwy 401 west of Chatham) follow County Rd 1 south to Wheatley, continue south through town until you see the marina, turn right (west) on Deer Run Road and you will immediately cross a bridge. North-west of the bridge is Muddy Creek. -- Christopher Escott 151 Burbank Drive, Toronto ON Canada M2K 1N9 HOME: 416-444-8055 CELLULAR: 416-788-8055 _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
