My husband and I birded some of the water areas near Coldwater, Waubaushene and Port McNicoll on Saturday. We counted about 160 Trumpeter Swans, three Great Blue Herons, a dozen Common Mergansers, and about a dozen Common Goldeneyes, some mallards and several dozen Canada Goose. There were other birds, some far out in the bay that we didn't see well enough to name for sure.
Before we left our home (Waubaushene, ON) to bird we were treated to about a dozen Evening Grosbeaks at our feeders (these in addition to the daily visits of Red-breasted and White-breasted nuthatches, Hairy and Downy woodpeckers, a pair of cardinals, goldfinches, juncos and the occasional dove.)
