A continuing Willet at the Brighton Constructed Wetland was cooperative and picture-perfect today.
I last saw the Willet in the cell closest to the road, along with a number of other shorebirds, at 4:30 pm on May 21. Also of interest were a pair of Blue-winged Teals and a surprising Red-headed Woodpecker that flew west over the Wetland at the very end of our visit. A note to anyone looking for Red-headed Woodpeckers around Presqu'ile: there appears to an influx of them this weekend, as I've heard reports of at least 5 different individuals in the area. The Brighton Constructed Wetland is just east of Gosport (south of Brighton) on County Rd 64. Also it would be great if you had a Wetland pass. Looks like we're in for a good one at Presqu'ile this weekend! >From Baxter Naday _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
