From: STEPHANIE BRYANT <g.bryant(AT)sympatico.ca>
Date: 6 Jul 2009 3:55pm
Last evening with the warmth and full moon we tallied 19 Whips (18 heard, one
seen) along a 7 km. stretch of Muskoka Road 13 centering on the barrens ~6kms.
s.e. of Torrance (Hwy. 169). Also noted were several Common Nighthawk, abundant
Gray Tree Frog, many fireflies and 1 Fisher.
On the hiking trail north of the road July evensong consisted of Veery, Hermit
Thrush, Eastern Towhee, Swamp Sparrow and Common Yellowthroat. We often note
Massassaugas on the road here at night but none last night.
Wear boots.

any were banded.

Hwy # 7 ,from Steeles Turn North, The pond is just North of the 407 overpass
on the West side.
Good Birding

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. Look for the
Wetland viewing sign at the east end of the Wetland.
Parking is on the shoulder of the road, please do not drive in.
Thanks everyone
Keith "Tiny" Lee
