At about noon today I saw an adult bald eagle fly over the road just ahead of my car while I was traveling westbound on Highway 3 between Stromness and Dunville. It began to circle over the hydro facility east of Mumby Rd. I had to keep moving so I wasn't able to see if it perched or moved on. Earlier I saw a flicker on Canal Rd. near Port Maitland, about 100 metres or so east of the Innophos facility. It was actively feeding on the north shoulder of the road, and it was still there when I went back past that spot about 15 minutes later.
Dunville lies on Highway 3, near the north shore of Lake Erie.
