David Gascoigne and Miriam Bauman Waterloo, ON Directions: Take Highway 8 from Stratford directly to Mitchell. You will pass a sign that proclaims that Howie Morenz was born in Mitchell and then to another sign announcing the town of Mitchell. You will shortly thereafter pass a Tim Horton's; continue on to the first set of traffic lights. This is Wellington Street. Turn left (south) and go as far as you can. You will then be in the parking lot for the wetlands. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
