Posting for Doug Reberg I did not see this bird. I haven't a Black-necked Stilt this year.
Mark Cranford Ontbirds Coordinator From: Doug Reberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Black-necked stilt Date: Thu, 18 Nov 2004 13:52:07 -0500 X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.619) Sorry for the delay in this posting, but the Ridgetown Black-necked stilt was still at the sewerage lagoon last night around 5:30. The Hudsonian Godwit wasn't around when we were viewing, but the Stilt was certainly worth the drive. Directions: Ridgetown is about 30 minutes east of Chatham. From Highway 401, exit at County Road 21 (exit 109) and head south to Ridgetown. From the main corner in downtown Ridgetown (intersection of Erie Street and Main Street) follow Erie Street north for ~1.5 km to the intersection of Erie Street and Mitton Line/Palmer Street. Turn left onto Mitton Line/Palmer Street and just past the fertilizer plant which is on the north side of the street, you will see the sewage lagoons on the south side of the street. Do not go beyond the fence. The stilt is visible from the viewing stand.
