Hi all, Nothing was moving today at the mouth of Lake Huron, but some interesting birds (seen from Point Edward) have been around a while. 3 King Eiders (2 female, 1 first year male) closer to the US side. 1 Harlequin duck (male), US side 2 Red-necked Grebes Other birds today included Iceland Gull (1st basic), Common Goldeneye, Bufflehead, Horned Grebe, Canvasback, Redhead, scaup, and Long-tailed ducks. The Redhead and Canvasback and Horned Grebe were off Canatara Park east of Point Edward. The eiders have generated considerable interest on the US side as they are a review species in Michigan.
Directions to Point Edward waterworks: Find Front St. in Sarnia (along river in downtown) and follow it to its very north end,1.2 km from 402 overpass. Turn left onto Victoria Ave. and travel 1.1 km to Fort St. (right, north side). Go to end of street and you will see parking lot overlooking Lake Huron. ************************ Blake Mann Wallaceburg, Chatham-Kent, Ont. boatmann AT kent DOT net
