The Eurasian Wigeon continues at Nonquon – seen today by Dan Kaczynski ... birds still very skittish and sometimes fly off towards the causeway on Lake Scugog but then return to the lagoons.

Completed Applications should be forwarded to: Finance Department - Insurance & Risk Management 605 Rossland Road E., Whitby, ON L1N 6A3 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", they 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.
