Hi Everyone
Today, August 20, 2005 we birded most of the eastern Ontario sewage
lagoons. Overall, it was rather quiet for shorebirds due to high water
levels at all lagoons. The most interesting observation was the number of
Ruddy Ducks at Alfred, St. Isisdore and Casselman. A total of 100+ were
observed with young at all 3 lagoons. Also noted was a lone adult Snow Goose
near Casselman and over 300+ Bobolinks in small flocks scattered at the
various lagoons.
