The geese were on River Canard viewable from Canard Lane this morning 8:30 AM,
same place as Paul Pratt reported them yesterday. Refer to previous message
from
Paul for directions. I counted 31 GWFG and there were also the 2 Snow geese.
Please be mindful of parking.
Happy Holls. Len Jones

Winter Listers:
A stop at Erieau at 11:10 this morning yielded a Ruddy Turnstone (found by Alan
Wormington Dec 1st) and a Purple Sandpiper. The birds were difficult to see as
they were mostly on the leeward side of the rocks until a fishing boat flushed
them. They then landed out of sight behi

After looking for the Turnstone today (which we did not see), my dad and I
were heading out of Erieau when I noticed a yellow bird along the side of

Hi all,
A Brant Goose was at Sarnia this morning with Canada Geese near the

At 2:15 this afternoon I found a first year male King Eider off Thickson's
Woods just to the east of Dennis Barry and Margaret Carney's house (338 Crystal

This morning at about 9:30am I observed an adult golden eagle flying westward
