Dear Ontbirders, At 2:40 after the thunderstorm at the Sedge Marsh today, the Yellow Rail began ticking. This was the bird 2/10 km north of the bridge. It is not that loud!
Also, the Loggerhead Shrike came out of hiding. It was so drenched that at first I thought it was a fledging. It seemed very black and was fluttering its wings in an attempt to get dry. Later it proceeded to feed its mate/or young at the nest. Directions: (Thanks Jean) >From Kirkfield on Highway 48 east of Lake Simcoe, proceed north on County Road 6. At 2.6 km past the Kirkfield Lift Lock, turn right (east) on McNamee Road where County Road 6 turns sharply to the left. Then turn left almost immediately on Wylie Road. Proceed north.
