This morning I lead a group of about 20 people to see birds at the Fairbairn Street Wetland in Peterborough (just north of Line 3) and along the Bridgenorth Trail (between the Hilliard St. end and the half-way point marsh). The birds were quite active and we managed to get good views of quite a few interesting species, including American Bittern, Common Gallinule, Brown Thrasher, Rusty Blackbird, Northern Harrier, Yellow-rumped Warbler, Fox Sparrow, Golden-crowned Kinglet and Ruby-crowned Kinglet.
