Greetings from one of Brighton's bright spots: Once again, a heart felt "Thank you" to Keith (Tiny) Lee for taking the time to open the wetland for us. The highlight continues to be the Virginia Rails. Tiny thinks there are at least 6 breeding pairs. I had the opportunity to see my very first Virginia Rail chick. WOW!! It is amzing how something so small and move so fast.
Also one person (André Massa) thought he had seen an American Bittern and Rod Lee could hear one. Well, 4 of us (Tiny, Rod, André and I) got to see the Bittern. It rose out of the northern cell and landed in the east end of the southern cell. The four of us scurried over and managed to get a good look at this very fine bird. There is a lot of activity in the Wetland. Joan The wetland is located on the south side of County Road 64 (Prince Edward Street) going out of Brighton. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
