Hi all,
We had these birds last Friday -June 20 - on our way to the OFO Bruce
Peninsula FT but have been unable to post until now(got home late Sunday and
had to pick up a new van in Exeter yesterday etc).
At ~17:45, a single female Dickcissel was on the roadside fence, east
side of Sideroad J/I ~600 metres south of Bruce Concession #10. We stopped
here on our way home Sunday ~19:30, but could NOT relocate it. We did get an
Upland Sandpiper just 2/300 metres further north, both Friday and Sunday
evening.
The Marbled Godwit was in Miramichi Bay at ~18:30 -west of Hwy#21 on
Southampton #10 to the lake and a little north. Again we checked for this bird
on our way home ~19:00 Sunday but did NOT find it. We did see a Bald Eagle
flying with a fish here on Sunday and a Great Egret(presumably both Chantry
Island nesters).
I am posting these observations in case some more local birders are able
to check these locations in their travels.
Cheers! Maris
P.S. Thanks to Cindy Cartwright and Alfred Raab for leading a great OFO
trip with many memorable moments in wonderful weather and good company.
