Hi Birders, Just for interest, Redhead ducks are being seen in the usual breeding areas around Lake St. Clair. Yesterday, I came across a few at the north edge of Lake St. Clair in the southern Walpole Island area. As well, I came across a male CANVASBACK duck in suitable nesting area closer to Wallaceburg. In the evening, I saw two male Redhead at the St. Clair NWA, seen from the viewing tower. (I didn't see them mentioned in the OFO trip!). Apparently, a few Redhead were seen June 5, as well as a pair of Canvasback. This morning I travelled down the St. Clair River and observed a few Redhead off Squirrel Island in a traditional location. Other notes, I had a pair of Caspian Terns at the location of the Canvasback. Most of these sightings can only by seen by boat.
