A Cattle Egret was seen in a field at 3169 Donnelly Drive in North Gower, ON
(within Ottawa county) between 8:45-9:15 this morning. The homeowner has been
seeing the bird sporadically since at least Wednesday, but wasn't sure of the
species. Apparently the bird is most often seen in the morning, up until about
noon, but its whereabouts after that are unknown. There are numerous cattle and
horse farms in the area, so it could easily be moving between them.
Directions: From Hwy#416, take exit #42 west to Fourth Line Rd, then turn left
(south) and follow to where 4th Line turns into Donnelly Drive. Continue west
on Donnelly until you pass Malakoff Rd and #3169 is the first farm on the right
(north side) of the road. The bird is easily visible from the road in a small
area of recently turned soil near a new wooden framed structure. There is a
small blue wooden box on the ground and this is a good marker that you're
looking in the correct location. Apparently this is the only place on the
property where the bird has been seen.
