Birders:
The male Barrow's Goldeneye is still along the St. Clair River, a bit north of
Sombra. With the continual shifting of ice, the bird has moved from where Josh
reported it yesterday, but not far. I saw it this afternoon in an open area
about 400-500 metres from shore along the St. Clair Parkway very close to the
west end of Stanley Line. It was with a mix of Common Goldeneye, Canvasback and
Redhead.
Directions: From Sarnia, take hwy 40 south to Bickford Line and turn west
toward the river. At the St. Clair Parkway, turn south and park along the road
near the end of Stanley Line. There are a few openings in the trees and shrubs
along the shoreline that should give decent views. A scope is necessary.
