Hello, I sat in my car for protection from the rain this evening at Lakeview Park Marina in Windsor from about 6:00 p.m. until 7:30 watching the RB Gulls, Bonaparte's Gulls, Forster's Terns and occasional DC Cormorant fishing in the protected waters inside the docks. At one point a male RB Merganser was present. At around 6:30 a Common Loon appeared on the water just a stone's throw from land. The loon fished the waters out between the marina and Peche Island for a while, but returned often to the small area in front of the big NO WAKE sign where boats enter the docking and fueling area, giving great views. I could see the red eye without the aid of the binoculars.
Out by Peche Island a great number of Tree Swallows were hunting something on the surface of the water. Lakeview Park Marina is located at 9200 Riverside Drive East, which is west of Manning Road and east of Lauzon Parkway in Windsor. Good birding, Kelly Morrissey, Windsor _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
