The two Cattle Egrets reported yesterday by Adam Timpf were observed this morning at 8:20 am and were actively foraging along the edge of Dedrick Creek in the pasture on the north side of 1st Concession.
A quick tour of Hastings Drive afterwards was fairly productive, the highlight being 13 Little Gulls feeding just off shore with a large group of Bonaparte's Gulls. A complete list of my sightings from Hastings Drive is below. Directions: The pastures in Dedrick Creek valley can be found on 1st Concession Rd., 1 km east of Highway 59. Hastings Drive can be accessed by driving south on Highway 59 across the Big Creek Marsh causeway and turning right (west) at the Causeway Restaurant.
