A Red-necked Phalarope was at Ridgetown this afternoon and evening in the
south pond. Other shorebirds included Solitary Sandpiper (2), Semipalmated
Plover, several Lesser Yellowlegs, Semipalmated Sandpipers, and Least
Sandpipers.
The south pond is fairly good for shorebirds this season and should be
checked regularly!
Lagoon Directions: Ridgetown is about 30 minutes east of Chatham. Exit 401
at Rd. 21 (#109) and head south. From the main corner in Ridgetown at Erie
St. and Main St., follow Erie St. north about 1.5 km to Mitton Line/Palmer
St. Turn left onto Mitton Line and go past fertilizer plant. Lagoons are
on the south (left) side and you will see a viewing stand. Do not enter
beyond fence.
