Alfred Bog & Alfred Lagoons with Tony Beck

Thursday Jun 14 - 7:30 am

Today there were Tony and Nina, Jeanine (new), Lena,  Al, Ron and myself.  We met at Petrie Island, birded a short time, then car-pooled to Alfred Lagoons.  I went with the ever-generous Al.

We had a Common Moorhen spotted by Al.  In fact there were three.  The name has recently been changed to Common Gallinule.

Al thought he had an American Bittern. We had a Wilson's Snip along Hwy 17.

The Alfred Lagoons provided good spotting of many duck species and coots, reminiscent of the prairies.
