Hi all,
This afternoon ~3:30 I watched a flock of 10 Brant fly in from the lake
landing ~300M offshore along with a female Black Scoter at the north end of
Beach parking area #8. At Beach parking area #9 a single Red-throated Loon was
~200M offshore. Also saw several Hermit Thrush and the usual sparrows along
the roadways.
At Kettle Point there was 1 Black-bellied Plover on the beach north of
the point and a Greater Yellowlegs just south of it. I saw 2 Pied-billed Grebe
further down the lake in 2 of the cuts as well as a few Horned Lark and my
first Snow Bunting of this fall.
Earlier to-day I had seen 3 Long-tailed Duck and ~ 7/8 Bonaparte's Gull
off Grand Bend Beach - note that Main street(#81) is well torn-up and will
likely remain so for a while, whereas Ontario Street(#21) is completely
re-paved.
Cheers!
