Hi, Everyone,
With a cold north wind whipping over the bay toward the Presqu'ile Gov't Dock and area yesterday morning, there were lots of diving ducks, but few dabblers (should have gone to Barcovan Bay apparently according to the Peterborough Field Nats). In the bay, no surprises: adult and imm. Bald Eagles, Canvasbacks, Am. Wigeon (two close to the dock among divers), Canada Geese, Mute Swans, Red-breasted and Common Mergansers, Redheads, Ring-necks, both Scaup, Common Goldeneyes, Buffleheads, White-winged Scoters, Long-tail Ducks, Ring-bill and Herring Gulls. On land, signs of spring: Great Blue Heron flying north to south over Salt Point, Carolina Wren singing away at the location mentioned previously by Fred Helleiner, Song Sparrows, Red-wings, and one Common Grackle, as well as the usual winter residents. Good birding, All! Wallace _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
