Hello Ontbirders,
The shorebirding has been quite good up at the Holland Landing Sewage
Lagoons over the last month or so. Cells 2 & 4 have some excellent habitat
and today was a nice highlight. After seeing an eBird report of Wilson's
Phalarope from Kevin Shackleton this morning, I decided to
NEOTROPIC CORMORANT
SNOWY EGRET
Redhead
Surf Scoter
White-winged Scoter
Long-tailed Duck
Common Merganser
Common Loon
Great Egret
Black-crowned Night-Heron
Osprey
Black-bellied Plover
Semipalmated Plover
Spotted Sandpiper
Greater Yellowlegs
Lesser Yellowlegs
Upland Sandpiper
Ruddy Turnstone
Although not an uncommon species, today on Echo Island in Echo Bay on Lake
Boshkung, Haliburton County there are more Pine Warblers than I have ever
encountered in one location. Very conservative estimate would be 25+ recently
fledged (still begging to be fed) and 10+ adults, and very possibly
Bird has just returned, in far northeast corner of the cell visible from the
tower.

The lagoons were just visited by a Peregrine which flushed most of the birds
including the blackbird. I will be here for another half hour and will post if
it returns.

There is a juv YH Blackbird feeding on the main lagoon at Almonte, visible from
the tower. To get to lagoons from Almonte take wolfgrove road south from 29,
1st road on right look for well hidden trail to tower on your right.
