In case you still need to see a Red-headed Woodpecker, we had several in the Niagara Region this morning. Scope not too necesssary, but you may have to look 100 acres west across a field to get good looks...I first saw it close to the road.
Directions: From the QEW take the Victoria Road (road 24)exit in Vineland and go south up the escartment. Turn right on Fly Road (Niagara 73), and go a few km. Turn left on Tintern Road (if you get to Camden Road you went a block too far). Stop just past the second bridge a few km south of 73 and wait and watch. You will probably hear them call before you see them. Good luck!

There was apparently some error that caused the locks to be inadvertently disabled. Durham Region has restored the locks and has apologized for the inconvenience. Permit holders may once again access the lagoons. There still is ongoing construction so please be careful when you enter. Enjoy! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Permits must be purchased in advance of entering the lagoons. They cost $5.00 as they did last year. The permits may be purchased at the Durham Region Transfer Site located at 1623 Reach Rd, Port Perry during the following business hours .... Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 6 p.m. To get to the transfer station, travel north on Hwy 12 past Port Perry [Hwy 7A] to the next traffic lights [Regional Road 8 = Reach Rd.] and travel east to #1623 on the north side of the road. The lagoons are located one road north of the transfer site east off Hwy 12 on Concession Rd. 8 [don't get confused as, despite the fact that these roads are both numbered "8", they are two different roads - one is a regional paved road, the other a dirt concession road.] Geoff Carpentier Ajax, Ontario
