Today, between 5:15 and 5:30 p.m. the Yellow Rail sang several times east-southeast of the bridge at the Sedge Wren Marsh on Wylie Road. Also several Soras and Virginia Rails and an American Bittern were heard well because the frogs weren't yet singing. It was overcast and warm.
A Loggerhead Shrike was on the east side of Wylie Road near bluebird box 3, which is about 200 metres south of Bluebird Box 10. Directions >From the Kirkfield Lift Lock on Kirkfield Road 6, drive 2.5 km north, turn right (east) on McNamee Road, then immediately left onto Wylie Road.
