Just returned from a quick visit to the wetland, where we observed 23
species.
There are at least 6 Virginia Rail, "2 dozen" or more Moorhen, a Pied-billed
Grebe
and of course the Osprey is sitting on the nest.

There are also two sets of Mute Swan families, three Canada Geese and 1
female Mallard
watching her brood of 9 (or 10).

The new gate (Next to the viewing platform) is now available for access to
the wetland.

The Wetland is located at #11 - County Road 64 exactly 7.2 kilometres
south on highway 30 at exit 509 -
Brighton.
