This am at Snider Marsh, a pair of Virginia rails probed
about in the mud and reeds within fifty feet of the footbridge
spanning Robinson Creek - the marsh lies in the Northwest
crook formed by Snider Dr and the GO tracks at Bullock
Avenue - it has been very productive of southbound migrants
these last two weeks with Northern water-thrush, Orange-
crowned warbler, Green heron, Wilson's snipe, both yellow-
legs, Solitary, Pectoral and Least sandpipers among them -
all these and lots more, found central to Markham Village

NB - parking is difficult, but can be found on Water Street,
south of Bullock Avenue - emerge on Bullock from behind
the Senior Center and cross at the lights

cheers - S Long
