Good Morning The Snowy Egret is still to be found at Horseshoe Bay about half way between Port Elgin and Southampton at 6:50 am this morning. It is in the same location as previously reported, on the north side of the bay in front of two cottages in the shallow waters. It is feeding on small fish and what ever else it can find. The bird has not been seen by myself in the afternoon and I do not know where it spends the night, maybe on Chantry Island with the rest of the Egrets and Herons. Also seen on horseshoe bay were: Great Blue Heron - 2 Great Egret - 1 Blue winged Teal - 2 Mallard - 2
On Mirimichi Bay which is the next bay over to the south closer to Port Elgin were Caspian Tern - 1 Dunlin - 3 Spotted Sandpiper - 4 Semipalmated Sandpiper - 2 Directions to Horseshoe Bay. Take the 10th Conc. Saugeen west from HWY 21 between Port Elgin and Southampton towards the lake and turn north along the Shore road. The first Bay you come too is Mirimichi Bay and the second is Horseshoe Bay.
