Greetings: The Osprey have returned to the Wetland. Hopefully, they will
produce another surviving chick this year. Last year the Osprey returned
April 6, 2008. June 1, 2008 three of us (Tiny, myself and Donna Fano) saw
the first of what would be three babies. Only one survived. There were
also many, many Tree Swallows gracing the air just above the water.
Beautiful!!
Tiny will advise when he will open the Constructed Wetland for viewing.

Directions: The Constructed Wetland is located at the SE corner of
Brighton. From Hwy 401, take the Brighton exit 509 (Hwy. 30) and follow
it south into town. Go south through the two traffic lights, over
the railway tracks and follow the main road, now called Prince Edward
Street, south. About 1 km south of the tracks, the main road begins
to swing to the left and becomes Cty. Rd. 64. As this long turn
ends the Constructed Wetlands appear on the right side. Look for the
Wetland viewing sign at the east end of the Wetland.
