Title: Rouge Marsh Report
Post by: Anonymous on April 26, 2008, 05:10:44 PM
G'day everyone,

Went for a bit of a stroll at the newly redone Rouge Marsh at the end of Lawrence Ave. in Scarborough.  Must admit, looks much nicer than I thought it would.  Bird wise I saw the usual suspects, including Red Wing Black Birds, House Sparrows, Ring Billed Gulls, Robins, Cormorants, Grackles, Canada Geese and Mallards.  I also saw 3 pairs of Common Terns, which I believe will be nesting on the fenced off portions of land in the main marsh.  Also saw a single Caspian Tern and a pair of Trumpeter Swans.  Here are some photos, I hope you enjoy them.
