Ontbirders - This morning around noon, Ontario birders Michael Holden and Randy Fowler located a male Cinnamon Teal in amongst the other waterfowl at the south end of the Hillman Marsh Shorebird Habitat cell. Hopefully the bird will stay around for the weekend during the Hillman Marsh Shorebird Festival. This past week the barrier beach separating Hillman marsh from Lake Erie was intentionally breached to lower water levels, which is creating good shorebird habitat.
The new 88 acre Hillman Marsh shorebird habitat is located along County Rd, 37 north of County Rd 20, on the Northeast corner of the Point Pelee peninsula, approx 4 km east of the town of Leamington.
