Hello Birders
Mary Schuster and I went up to the Non-quon (Port Perry) Sewage Lagoons
this afternoon to look for shorebirds. In the eastern-most cell there was a
female WILSON'S PHALAROPE near the south end.
There is good shorebird habitat in cell #4 (counting from east to west).
There were GREATER and LESSER YELLOWLEGS, DUNLIN, 1 SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHER,
SEMIPALMATED PLOVERS and many LEAST SANDPIPERS. A good number of waterfowl
species can be found in the other cells, where the water levels are high.
Directions:
A permit is required and can be obtained in person only from the waste
transfer station on Reach Road in Port Perry, east of Hwy 12. The cost is
$5 and the permit is good until October. The station is closed on Sunday
and Monday.
The lagoons are on Scugog Line 8, east of Hwy 12. (One road north of Reach).
Good birding
