3 northern waterthrush were seen last evening at Richmond Dr. Swamp just west of Cornwall on July 26 and confimed at 8:00 AM this morning. The egret roost is building with 14 egrets there last evening. There are many other species in or adjacent to the swamp and it is a wonderful time to visit; it is fairly easy to spot 30 species on a regular visit. To get to Richmond, exit 401 east at Power Dam Dr. and come to the traffic light on Vincent Massey ( old highway #2). Turn right and drive 2 kilometers to Richmond DR. (on right). Drive 1/2 K; just before the railway tracks, you will see an entry to the marsh. Walk out to the disused rail line and stroll through the Marsh from an elevated view. Great for photography.
