At about 11:30 on January 24 a Bald Eagle was riding on a thermal above the west side of Wye Marsh near the Wye Marsh Wildlfie visitor's centre. It was a mature bird and it is another in a number of Bald Eagle and Golden Eagle sightings in this area.

I spent about 20 minutes looking at ducks along the Day use area of Presqu'ile Park this afternoon (Jan 24). The viewing was prime, with beautiful afternoon sunshine and 2 or 3 thousand ducks. Saw a male Barrow's Goldeneye about 100 yard's down the road from Chatterton Pt. About 20 yards out from shore. It was keeping close company with a female goldeneye of an undetermined (by me) species. This may be the same one seen "around the corner" in Presqu'ile Bay two days ago. The other ducks I saw, in descending order of abundance: Long-tailed Duck, Greater Scaup, Bufflehead, Common Goldeneye, Mute Swans. Other ducks seen this week in small numbers include Redhead, Ring-necked Duck, Lesser Scaup, Tundra Swans, Red-breasted Merganser, Common Merganser, Mallard, Black Duck, as well as Coots and a Common Loon. To reach Presqu'ile Provincial Park, follow the signs from Brighton. Brighton is on Hwy 30 south of the 401. Locations within the Park are shown on a map at the back of a tabloid that is available at the Park gate.
