Today I spotted a beautiful (are there any that aren't?!) male wood Duck swimming in the canal along Canal Road east of Hwy. 400 exit before you get to Tornado Rd. This is only noteworthy because of the late date - my only winter record of this species in this area. Peter Wukasch Go north on Hwy. 400 to Canal Rd. exit and turn right on Canal Rd., checking the canal on the left before you pass Tornado Rd. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
