Hello, This morning around 8:30 a:m, I met Alan Wormington along the south end of the West Beach parking lot, who was looking out over Lake Erie with 2 female King Eider in his scope. Migrants are more on the move now including large movements of Golden-crowned Kinglets, along with Flickers, a few Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers and Winter Wrens. Warblers, except for the odd Yellow-rumped, appear to be absent....for now. Out in the Onion Fields, 12 Dunlin, and 6 Pectoral Sandpipers were seen at a mudflat along Concession D, along with the usual migrant waterfowl and Boniparte's Gull. Just the calm before the storm of spring birding here in the Pelee Area. Good Birding, Marianne Balkwill [EMAIL PROTECTED] Directions: Point Pelee National Park is as far south as you can drive in mainland Canada :-) _________________________________________________________________ Turn every day into $1000.
