On Sunday August 28, about 5 pm, Kim Zbitnew, Bernie Ladouceur and Bob Cermak,
while on the Ottawa Field Naturalists Club Annual Seedathon, had about 200
shorebirds of 12 species at the Casselman Sewage Lagoon. Highlights were 5 Red
Knot, 1 Ruddy Turnstone, 1 Baird's Sandpiper and 7 Sanderling.
Directions courtesy Neilyworld Birding: From Highway 417 (The Queensway), 52 km
east of Ottawa, take the Casselman exit (66) and go NNW toward the town of
Casselman. Drive 1.1 km NNW into town on Rue Principale, crossing the railway
tracks and the main cross-street (St. Isidore), to turn right or northeast just
beyond onto Laurier. Follow Laurier northeast, then north, 1.8 km to Concession
5 Road (or Route 500). Turn right or northeast onto it and the road into the
Casselman Sewage Lagoons is on your right almost immediately.
