Hello Ontbirders, The Hudsonian Godwit that was reported present yesterday at the Nonquon Lagoons by Steve LaForest is still there this morning.
I saw it about 8:45 on the east side of the first cell along with 3 Yellowlegs and about 5 Pectoral. The rain made spotting/confirming it difficult what with looking through steady rain and drops on the binoculars.... it would be better if the rain lets up but it is still there. The last that I saw of it, it flushed from the east side when the Pectorals "panicked" and sent the Hudsonian and the Yellowlegs over to the west side of cell 1. To reach the lagoons, from Highway 401, take Simcoe St. (Oshawa) north to Port Perry. At the north end of town, turn left (west) at the stoplights onto Concession Road 8, cross Old Simcoe St. and proceed a short distance to the lagoons, on the south side of the road. Note – do NOT follow Regional Road 8 (the next road south of Concession 8). Note also that you cannot access the lagoons from the west, because the bridge is permanently out. -- B.F.
