Hi all - yes this bird reported by several observers this week was seen by
Penny and I late this afternoon. We watched it from the west berm as it fed
along the SW shoreline - it made a fairly long flight and I thought it may be
heading to roost but it flew overhead, giving us great looks at its golden
slippers and landed on the gravel/dirt spit/pile on southside of main lagoon
with 6/7 Great Egrets. We drove around and got a reasonable 'Coolpix' shot of
it.
Cheers! Maris
Directions - from the westerly Tilbury exit turn right on Edgefield Rd and
right again on Lakeshore 303 driving along to the lagoons on right - just north
of Hwy #401.
