"ontbirds": This morning (Dec 9/03) I discovered an immature male Harlequin Duck on Lake Erie, east of the town of Selkirk. It was in the large bay between Hoover Point and Featherstone Point (east of Haldimand Road 12 also known as Fisherville Rd.) It was located in front of the farm with the Royal Lepage real estate sign (Linda Purves). It was swimming around the most westerly rocky island in the bay with a goldeneye and Buffleheads.
There was a hunter set up in a blind nearby, but he moved away and the Harlequin was still in the area despite the hunter firing his gun off a couple of times while I was there. Good luck, Denys Gardiner, Brantford ____________________________________________________________ Free Poetry Contest. Win $10,000.
