Hi all,
Penny, Emily and I took a drive to sarnia via Kettle Point this afternoon.
At ~ 2pm I spotted this brightly coloured adult along Army Camp Road perched
~5M high opposite the first few houses/cottages on the north side of the road.
The solid ice cover is now quite far out with very little open water.
At Point Edward we saw many Long-tailed Duck, a few Common Goldeneye and
Red-breasted Merganser, 1 adult Iceland(Kumlien's) and 1 juvenile/1st winter
Glaucous along with many Herring Gull - some harrassing the ducks.
Sarnia Bay is frozen enough for a few ice fishermen but near the Q105 boat
on the edge of the ice Emily spotted a blue morph Snow Goose in the midst of
~80 Canada geese. Cheers! Maris
Directions - Army Camp Road crosses Hwy #21 and is the 3rd. concession north of
Kettle Point corner.
- Point Edward is under the Bluewater bridge - take Fort St off
Victoria St to lighthouse.
- to find Q105 stay on Exmouth until you pass everything and
have to turn right - look through the chain link fence or drive to the edge of
the St Clair river if you feel adventurous.
