June 10 - A Trip to Rock Point Provincial Park tallied two immature Bald Eagles, 7 Mute Swans (near Mohawk Island) 1100 Double-crested Cormorants (mostly on Mohawk Island) 82 Bonaparte's Gulls, 22 Common Terns (including 10 fledglings) 5 Lesser Yellowlegs, and 5 Least Sandpipers. Rock Point P. P. is about 35 Km west of Fort Erie, Ontario on the north shore of Lake Erie. From Rock Point P. P. take Downey Road north about 2 Km to Rhymer Road and turn left (west) and continue for about a Km till you come to a series of ponds (the Mosaic Ponds) on the north side of Rhymer Road. Here I found 22 SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHERS, 1 Greater Yellowlegs, 11 Lesser Yellowlegs, two Least Sandpipers, two (male and female) Blue-winged Teals, and a male Green-winged Teal.
