There were 14 Snow Geese (1 Blue morph) in the north ponds at the
Ridgetown Sewage Lagoons this morning.
Also two lingering Tundra Swans and a good variety of ducks including a
good number of Wood Ducks.
At Rondeau Provincial Park there were many No. Flickers and Golden Crown
Kinglets, a singing Fox Sparrow, one Ea. Towhee and several Ea. Phoebes.
Lagoon Directions(from Blake Mann): Ridgetown is about 30 minutes east
of Chatham. Exit 401
at Rd. 21 (#109) and head south. From the main corner in Ridgetown at Erie
St. and Main St., follow Erie St. north about 1.5 km to Mitton Line/Palmer
St. Turn left onto Mitton Line and go past fertilizer plant. Lagoons are
on the south (left) side and you will see a viewing stand. Do not enter
beyond fence.
You can also view the north ponds by driving up the laneway on the north
side of Mitton and around the buildings.
