Hi all,
Took a tour to southern Chatham-Kent this morning. At Blenheim S. L. I
noted four Dickcissels (two pairs) along the east fence of the lagoon
property.
A male Dickcissel was first reported in the area 24 June (J. T. Burk), then
the one on Tuesday (J. E. Heslop).
Could be more around!
Shorebirds included only a few Least Sandpipers and Lesser Yellowlegs and
one Solitary Sandpiper.
A wet spot towards Erieau (SE corner of Erieau Rd. and Bisnett Line) is a
good one to check. This morning there were Lesser Yellowlegs and a Dunlin.
Lagoon Directions: Exit 401 at #90 (Communications Rd.) and head into
Blenheim. At the main stoplight turn right (west) onto Rd. 3. Travel about
1.5 km and turn right (north) onto Lagoon Rd. at the carwash, and continue
north about 1 km to gate. You must have an annual permit to enter.
Available at the Municipal Service Centre, 35 Talbot St. in Blenheim,
during business hours, fax (519) 676-0244.
