Greetings
This morning Dan Salisbury and were scouting in preparation for the
August 10 (Sunday) Rock Point Provincial Park and Eastern Lake Erie OFO
Field Trip. We observed a breeding plumage Hudsonian Godwit and saw and
heard a Long-billed Dowitcher in the Mosaic Esterhazy Lagoons (on the
east side of the feeder canal) near Port Maitland. Please note that
permission is required from Mosaic Esterhazy Holdings (Georg Madsen) to
enter the property. Alternatively you can come on the OFO Rock Point
trip. After we visit Rock Point we will go to the Mosiac property, and
with a little luck the godwit and dowitcher will still be there.
Directions:
The birds were in the lagoons to the east of Feeder Canal Road. These
lagoons can be reached by entering through the gate at the north end of
the property and walking out to the east and then to the south. The
birds were on several small lagoons and ponds.
Feeder canal road can be reached from Dunville by taking Highway 3 and
turning right along the feeder canal just before you reach Stromness
(about 7 km from the bridge in Dunville.) From Fort Erie turn left off
Highway 3 just after Stromness. (Stromness is a very small town). If you
continue south on Feeder Canal Road you reach an intersection and turn
right into the Mosaic Esterhazy Holding property and ask for permission
at the blue building.
