At 9:40 this morning I found an adult Arctic Tern at the Wawa sewage ponds, loosely hanging out with 9 Bonapartes Gulls. Certainly not a species I had on the radar!! 10 minutes earlier a Marbled Godwit circled the ponds before getting chased out by gulls. Both the tern and the Godwit are still present, with the Godwit appearing to land in the fenced in area just east of the ponds.
Not sure if any birders are in the Wawa area but you never know. Directions: from HWY 17, turn off onto Mission Road (HWY 101) heading north into Wawa. Immediately after passing the Tim Hortons, turn left and follow the road down the hill to the lagoons.
