A morning walk beside Lake Victoria produced a Pied-billed Grebe, 7 Ring-necked Duck, 4 Common Goldeneye and a Bufflehead. Walking farther east along the south side of the Avon River I saw 4 Wood Duck and good numbers of robins, grackles, redwings, Song Sparrow, Killdeer, and Turkey Vulture. Steve Thorpe Stratford Lake Victoria is a widening of the Avon in central Stratford. From Ontario St (Hwy 7,8) travel north on Front St or Queen St to the river. Parking is available along Lakeside Drive. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
