Hello Everyone: I observed 13 species of ducks in Caledonia yesterday going to, and returning from the OFO Haldimand trip. The Grand River there is open upstream from the rapids under the rail bridge to downstream of the old bridge for cars. The diving ducks are upstream in the rapids, best viewed from the north bank. (Parking lot by the Canada Post "superbox.".)
Mallard, American Black, Canvasback(1),Redhead,Greater(1) and Lesser (1) Scaup, Long-tailed (1), Common Goldeneye, Bufflehead, 3x Merganser, and a Muscovy. There were hundreds and hundreds of Goldeneyes so Barrow's may have been present. Gulls also present. Open water in Dunnville too; but far fewer species. Directions: The traffic bridge is one block south of the heart of Caledonia. -- Many thanks, Wayne R.W.
