Hello all: On Monday Norm Muir posted a message about an eared grebe at Townsend sewage lagoon, along with the following instruction:
>>> These lagoons are only accessible on the weekend. <<< Now, there have been a couple of messages about black-necked stilts being seen at the lagoons (Wednesday morning). Is permission to enter or a permit required on week days? Are people trespassing? Might access be put a risk if people are entering during working times? I don't want to make the drive (and I'm sure others would feel the same) only to be turned away at the gate...

It was still present at 12:30 p.m., but was singing infrequently and was hard to find. It seems to be hanging around several old apple trees and acts somewhat territorial. To reach Thickson's Woods exit from 401 to Thickson Road South in Whitby. Proceed south past Wentworth Street to the Waterfront Trail. Turn left, turn around and park on the north side of the road. Enter the woods on a path from the south side, about 200 metres east of Thickson Road. Follow the trails through the woods, some of which access the Lake Ontario shore. To view the beaver pond and Corbett Creek Marsh continue east about 100 metres past the entrance to the woods. The meadow is across the Waterfront Trail immediately north of the woods. The entrance is directly across the waterfront trail from the entrance to the woods.
