A local birder, Jim Dunn, reported to us that he saw the American Avocet
and 60 Whimbrel [photo available] at Aylmer Wildlife Management Area at
10 a.m. this morning [May 15].
We didn't see the Avocet yesterday [May 14] but as mentioned in our
initial report there are lots of berms that the bird can hide behind so
patience is in order if you want to see it.
Directions:
Aylmer WMA is northeast of Aylmer in Elgin County. From Hwy 401 drive
south from Exit 203 on Elgin Road / Hwy 73 which becomes Imperial Road
once you are in Elgin County. Turn left/east on College Line. Turn
right/south on Hacienda Road and drive to the south end of the Ontario
Police College. Turn left/east and follow the laneway to the viewing
stands.
