Yesterday December 14 around noon I found a nice Lincoln's Sparrow in the
marsh bordering the campgrounds at Wheatley Provincial Park. The bird was
directly behind campsites 218 and 219. There were loads of sparrows to pish
up, which is how I got the Lincoln's. Hopefully it will be tallied by
someone on the Pelee CBC today.

Wheatley Provincial Park is located just east of the town of Wheatley in
Chatham-Kent, and is easily accessed from old Highway Number 3, now the
Talbot Trail. Follow the signs and turn south on Klondyke Road. Park at the
office outside the gate and walk in. You'll have to walk a few kms to reach
the campgrounds. Sites 218 and 219 are at the far end of the loop.
