Hi everyone. Sorry for the late news but Chip Weseloh reported seeing a
juvenile (white) Little Blue Heron yesterday (2:30pm) at the George Merry
Wetland on Hwy 38 in Kingston. Unfortunately, there is absolutely no access
at this site and the viewing that is available from Hwy 38 is limited. The
wetland is located just north of the 401, about half a kilometer north along
Hwy38 (44.293420, -76.574788) near Cordukes Rd. This is junction 611 on the
401. There is space for 1 or maybe 2 cars at the gated entrance to this
location (on a very busy road). Needless to say, please be very careful here
and be sure to avoid blocking the highway.

I haven't spoken directly to Chip and, although I assume juvenile Snowy
Egret has been eliminated, I have no further details.

Mark.
