On Saturday, 10 participants joined myself for some lake and lagoon birding at Kettle Point, Port Franks, and local sewage lagoons. We totaled 42 species and one hybrid (Mallard x Am. Black Duck). 10 species of shorebird were seen.
Winds were strong and westerly, with a small south-component; not ideal for lake watching but we tried our hardest. Highlights included some close views at kettling Broad-winged Hawks (Kettle Point), Baird's Sandpiper (Forest Sewage Lagoons), and two Long-billed Dowitchers (Thedford Sewage Lagoons). Thank you to all who came out and helped in spotting!
