Wheatley Harbour has been good for gulls the past couple of weekends.
Yesterday I found a second winter Thayer's Gull hobnobbing with the
Ring-billeds and Herrings in the marina. Dean Ware has been finding
Icelands, and the first winter Lesser Black-backed I found a while ago is
probably still there. Once the Bonaparte's return, it should be really fun
and interesting.
En route to the Harbour, I also spotted 2 Killdeer flying over a field along
Kent Road 1 just north of Muddy Creek. I was surprised not to find more in
the Hillman Marsh/Pelee area. However, numbers and variety of ducks have
greatly increased. Look for them in the flooded fields south of Hillman
Marsh in addition to the marsh proper.
Wheatley Harbour can be reached by taking Kent Road 1 south from the heart
of Wheatley to the lake.
