Hi Birders, Just back from Algonquin Park. Our best sightings was an adult American Bittern feeding four Bittern Babies. (Pictures were sent to Carol Horner) The other very surprising sighting was a Rough-legged Hawk, dark morph. I talked to Ron Tozer about the Hawk sighting. He said that it would be a very rare sighting this time of the year, however, anything is possible. The flight pattern and field marks were very convincing. It was seen above Rock Lake Campground.
Direction to the American Bitter. Take HW 60 towards East Gate. When you pass Lake of Two Rivers and then the Sanitation Station, drive an other half a km. from Sanitation Station. The marsh will be on your left-hand side. (We saw them in two consecutive days) Good Luck and great Birding: Karl and Marienna Egressy
