Several dozen WHITE-WINGED SCOTERS, many in fresh basic plumage, were very close to shore Sunday afternoon at Spencer Smith Park, in downtown Burlington, providing excellent views even without binoculars. With them were LONG-TAILED DUCKS, HOODED MERGANSERS, RED-BREASTED MERGANSERS, BUFFLEHEADS, one GREATER SCAUP, and the usual MALLARDS.
An OSPREY flew along the shore towards Hamilton, as well as several flocks of DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS. Spencer-Smith Park is on the Lake Ontario shoreline, at the base of Brant Street, south off the QEW in Burlington. _______________ Geosoft Inc.
