Hi All,
Earlier today (12:00 PM), Jean and I made a quick stop at Lawrence P Sayers
Park in Stoney Creek (Hamilton) to look for scoters.
Black, White-winged and Surf Scoter were observed from the shoreline. In
addition to the three scoter species, we observed Common and Red-breasted
Merganser, Long-tailed Duck, and many Common Goldeneyes.
At the end of Green Road we had close views of White-winged Scoters. Surf
Scoters were seen further out in the lake.
Cheers,
Bob Highcock and Jean Hampson
St. Catharines, ON
