Today we found 31 Black Terns in the Omemee Sewage Lagoons. About 60% were immature being fed by adults, often on the wing. Also seen of interest were Wood Duck, Common Merganser and a Solitary Sandpiper.
Directions - The village of Omemee is on Highway #7 between Lindsay and Peterborough. Turn north at the traffic light beside the bank. Proceed one concession along Sturgeon Rd to Beaver Rd. Turn west and go about three-quarters of a kilometer. Just over the hill on the right is a driveway/entrance that overlooks the lagoons. Park and scope. The lagoons are locked but the main pond is clearly visible from this location. Enjoy! Bob and Mary Hartley
