Subject: [Ontbirds]Dickcissel + Marbled Godwit - Saugeen Shores
From: Maris Apse <apsemaris(AT)hotmail.com>
Date: 24 Jun 2008 8:05am
Hi all,
We had these birds last Friday -June 20 - on our way to the OFO Bruce
Peninsula FT but have been unable to post until now(got home late Sunday and had
to pick up a new van in Exeter yesterday etc).
At ~17:45, a single female Dickcissel was on the roadside fence, east side
of Sideroad J/I ~600 metres south of Bruce Concession #10. We stopped here on
our way home Sunday ~19:30, but could NOT relocate it. We did get an Upland
Sandpiper just 2/300 metres further north, both Friday and Sunday evening.
The Marbled Godwit was in Miramichi Bay at ~18:30 -west of Hwy#21 on
Southampton #10 to the lake and a little north. Again we checked for this bird
on our way home ~19:00 Sunday but did NOT find it. We did see a Bald Eagle
flying with a fish here on Sunday and a Great Egret(presumably both Chantry
Island nesters).
I am posting these observations in case some more local birders are able
to check these locations in their travels.
Cheers! Maris
P.S. Thanks to Cindy Cartwright and Alfred Raab for leading a great OFO trip
with many memorable moments in wonderful weather and good company.

Subject: [Ontbirds]Peregrine Falcons at Burlington Lift bridge
From: Ken Newcombe <kennewcombe(AT)cogeco.ca>
Date: 24 Jun 2008 12:54pm
Hi All,
As of 10:30 AM today it appeared that three of the four Peregrine
Falcons had left the nest box. (I was told two flew yesterday). I could
only see one in the nest box though it is possible another is present.
One of them (Maitland) tagged 43 Y was sitting on the Hamilton tower of
the bridge for well over an hour preening and eying the Rock Pigeons
that would perch within ten feet of the Falcon at times. Both adults
were present but I did not see any feeding while I was there from about
8:30-10:30AM.
The Burlington lift bridge is located at the Burlington canal beside the Skyway
bridge. The nest box is high on the Burlington side bridge tower.

Subject: [Ontbirds]Brighton Wetlands
From: "Keith Lee" <keith.lee(AT)sympatico.ca>
Date: 24 Jun 2008 4:09pm
Hi everyone, I have decided to open only one day a week
for the next 4 to 6 weeks depending on the wildlife, after talking
to some of the birders(regulars) we have come up with I hope the
best solution, this would be Saturday afternoons from 4 PM to
5:30 or 6:00 PM depending on how many people show up. This will be
the next three weeks, I can adjust this to your
schedule if you have a group or not. If you wish to contact me for
any reason or for arranging for another time e-mail or by phone

As you may already know our Osprey has three young,
and the excitement continues, the Osprey can also be see
from the viewing platform when feeding the young are
very visible.
Directions: The Constructed Wetland is located at the SE corner of
Brighton. From Hwy 401, take the Brighton exit (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.
There is room to park on the edge (shoulder) of the road, but
use your own judgment.
