Hi All,
My wife, her father & partner and I went to Merritt Island in Welland to
find the blue morph Snow Goose. We were unsuccessful but observed many
species while we walked the lower trail to Woodlawn Road. We returned to
the parking area along the paved path.
Red-breasted Nuthatch were found on the lower path (also observed from the
paved path) and a single Lesser Black-backed Gull was observed, from the
paved path, on the canal ice amongst some Herring and Ring-billed Gulls.

Directions:
Travel south on the 406 to the end, turning right onto East Main. Travel
west until Cross St. Turn right onto Cross St (N), there will be the County
Court House on the right. To reach the parking area for Merritt Island, go
over the small bridge, crossing the Welland River.
