First discovered by David and Regan Goodyear. Four juvenile Wilson’s phalaropes were present in a flooded sod field this evening at 6:45. Numerous other shorebirds present including 2 Short-billed Dowitchers, Pectoral and Least Sandpipers and Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs.
Location: Going west from Beeton on the Hockey Road turn north at the first set of lights onto County Road 10 north. In about 4 km turn right at the 11th concession and proceed aprox 1/4 km. The ponds are on the north side. This area has been good ever since the flooding several weeks ago and should continue to be good as long as the rain continues. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
