Today there was at least one Sedge Wren to be found at Isaac Lake. It was singing frequently and responded well to pishing. It appeared to be building a nest as it was carrying nesting material and returning to the same clump of grass roughly 8-10 meters from the road. It was seen, and eventually photographed (http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S37225406), at the bend in the road once you get into the open marsh.
Isaac Lake can be accessed off highway 6 north of Wiarton by turning down Isaac Lake Rd. On Saturday night, we had more than a dozen Common Nighthawks fly over us while on Little Cove Rd. Also present were at least five Eastern Whip-poor-wills. We managed to see the silhouettes of two, and they appeared to be doing some aerial combat. Very close to the road around 9:30 pm. Little Cove Rd. is accessed from highway 6 just south of Tobermory. There were two Piping Plovers at Sauble Beach around 6:00 pm. They are nesting, and there are barriers up so they should not be a hassle to locate. One was on the nest while another was working its way along the shoreline. The male was unbanded, which I thought was a bit interesting. Very cooperative. Sauble Beach is about 20 minutes south of Wiarton. When driving down Main Street toward the lake, turn right and you should find the enclosure on the beach.
