Just returned from a quick visit to the wetland, where we observed 23 species. There are at least 6 Virginia Rail, "2 dozen" or more Moorhen, a Pied-billed Grebe and of course the Osprey is sitting on the nest.
There are also two sets of Mute Swan families, three Canada Geese and 1 female Mallard watching her brood of 9 (or 10). The new gate (Next to the viewing platform) is now available for access to the wetland. The Wetland is located at *#11 - County Road 64* exactly 7.2 kilometres south on highway 30 at exit 509 - Brighton.
