At 1:30 p.m. today a Snowy Owl was perched on the light standard at Canada Centre for Inland Waters in Burlington.
Directions: Take QEW to QEW Niagara, get off at Easport Drive and at the first set of lights is CCIW. The bird can be seen from the entrance or pull into the first parking lot. Nice bird on such a soggy day.

Our best sighting was two immature male King Eiders and an immature Surf Scoter at the end of Millen Road in Stony Creek. The birds were within 50 yards of the shore right at the end of Millen Road. We were also amazed by the number of Trumpeter Swans in the harbor in the vicinity of Lasalle Marina. We did not do a count but I would estimate there were 30+ birds in that area in three different groups. At Windemere Basin we also saw Ruddy Duck, Am. Coot, N. Shoveler, Ring-Neck Duck, and off Eastport Drive, a Horned Grebe. Millen Road is between the Centennial Road and Fruitland Road exits of the QEW. Bill Broderick Youngstown, NY
