Mounted in the viewing shelter at
Hillman Marsh Shorebird Cell is this beautiful new shorebird
identification sign. Each species recorded at Hillman Marsh is shown
with a photo in breeding plumage together with key identification
points. The Ontario Field Ornithologists contributed to the sign
financially and with shorebird identification expertise. Photos by
Jean Iron, Jeremy Bensette, Cherise Charron, Barry Cherriere, Frank
and Sandra Horvath, Dave Milsom, and Mark Peck. Many of the photos
were taken at Hillman Marsh and Point Pelee. |
