Good Morning. Yesterday Ian Cannell and I birded the Long Point area and it was a waterfowl show with approx. 75 to 100 thousand birds between Long Point’s Inner bay and Turkey Point as well as 10 Juvenile Bald Eagles (we missed a reported adult bird).
For the first time we stopped off at Booth’s Harbour where we spotted 2 adult Little Gulls and 4 Bonaparte’s Gulls just off the west end of Bluewater Ave. There may have been more of each of these 2 species but we moved along as we were heading for the Hagersville area and daylight does not last that long. Directions:- Approx. 1 km along Front Rd east of Townline St. at St. Williams you will come to Park St., turn right onto this street and follow it along to Bee St. then go west along Bee St. to the end and then go left the very short distance to Bluewater Ave. and drive east along to the end and then check the bay off of the marinas there. There were approx. 25 to 30 thousand waterfowl on the bay off here including Ruddy Ducks.
