Sorry for the late posting but I just now got to a computer.
Dan Kaczynski called my cell this morning to indicate there were 58 Willets at the Nonquon Lagoons. Jim Munroe, Margaret Bain, Charlie Adey and saw (and verified the number) around 1:00pm. The birds were on the western berm of the third cell. Directions, etc. from Geoff Carpentier: Permits must be purchased in advance of entering the lagoons. They cost $10.00. The permits may be purchased at the Durham Region Transfer Site located at 1623 Reach Rd, Port Perry during the following business hours .... Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 6 p.m. To get to the transfer station, travel north on Hwy 12 past Port Perry [Hwy 7A] to the next traffic lights [Regional Road 8 Reach Rd.] and travel east to #1623 on the north side of the road. The lagoons are located one road north of the transfer site on Concession Rd. 8 [don't get confused as, despite the fact that these roads are both numbered "8", hey are two different roads - one is a regional paved road, the other a dirt concession road.]. Access to the lagoons is from the east end of Conc. 8 only as the bridge is out west of the lagoons.
