Hi all,
Yesterday I saw a juvenile RED PHALAROPE during the early evening at the Alfred sewage lagoons (East cell) on Peat Moss road. It was still in the same area this morning. It can be viewed from the tower (free access). See following link for map showing where the lagoons are or go to Alfred and follow the road signs to the lagoons: http://www.alfred-plantagenet.com/vm/newvisual/attachments/669/Media/Lagunes AlfredLagoons2.pdf Do not enter within the fenced area unless you have a permit. This is being strictly enforced particularly during the hunting season. For more information on how to obtain a permit contact Martin Guindon at (613) 673-4797 (extension 244) during the week. There were also Black-bellied Plover (62), A. Golden Plover (8), White-rumped Sandpiper (25), Dunlin (30), Ruddy Duck (12), a Peregrine Falcon (1) and much more. If the falcon has just made a pass at the shorebirds it is likely you will not see any for at least 30 minutes. Be patient, they will come back. Good luck! Jacques Bouvier St-Isidore ON.
