Subject: [Ontbirds]Brighton Wetland and Lagoon
From: "Rod Lee" <simkev(AT)sympatico.ca>
Date: 21 Jun 2008 3:17pm
Hello everyone: This report comes on behalf of Keith Lee (Tiny).
Last Saturday I was excited to report that the Constructed Wetland had one
possibly two baby Osprey. This Saturday - Tiny, Donna, Maureen R, and
myself are very excited to report that we saw "3" baby Osprey - Catfish,
Ollie and Oswald. We watched as one adult brought in what looked like a
Carp. The adult on the nest immediately started feeding the brood. The
adult seem to be making sure that each "chick" received the same amount.
(Making sure that one chick did not eat it all). The third chick appears to
be a little bit younger than the other two but still had no problem getting
its bill in for the fish.
Now, more excitement - Donna, Maureen R. and I saw a little fluffy black
Sora chick. Although I have seen a Sora chick before, this was a first for
Maureen R. and Donna. What a totally amazing little chick. We watched as it
scurried very quickly when called.
Also present at the Wetland - many Killdeer, a Blue Wing Teal, many Moorhen
(seen and heard calling), Trumpeter Swan (Oscar), Mute Swan, Marsh Wren,
Mourning Dove, Barn and Tree Swallows, a Spotted Sandpiper
A reminder that starting next Saturday June 28, 2008 Keith Lee (Tiny) will
be at the Wetland between 4:00 and 5:30 or 6:00pm
Maureen Campeau
Directions: The Constructed Wetland is located at the SE corner of
Brighton. From Hwy 401, take the Brighton exit 509 (Hwy. 30) and follow
it south into town. Go south through the two traffic lights, over
the railway tracks and follow the main road, now called Prince Edward
Street, south. About 1 km south of the tracks, the main road begins
to swing to the left and becomes Cty. Rd. 64. As this long turn
ends the Constructed Wetlands appear on the right side.

Subject: [Ontbirds]American Golden Plover - Hillman Marsh
From: "Todd Pepper" <tandjpepper(AT)cogeco.ca>
Date: 21 Jun 2008 7:26pm
While the Shorebird Cell at Hillman Marsh is completely drained, a lone American
Golden Plover was seen just before noon in the south-east corner of the Cell.
It was not in crisp breeding plumage. It is a little late for going north and a
little early for heading south.
Acadian Flycatcher was calling from the nearby patch of woods.
Just a reminder that the bridge over the Hillman Marsh on County Road 37 is
closed for construction so the only access to the Shorebird Cell is from the
west on Oak or Seacliff Drive from Leamington.
