A pair of Red-breasted Mergansers are on the patch of open water at the north end of Lake Couchiching, along with dozens of Trumpeter Swans, Common Goldeneye, and Common Mergansers. This is the same location as the Barrow's Goldeneye showed up last winter, but no sign of one yet this year.
Exit to Washago off Highway 11, turn right onto Quetton Street to a good viewing area at the dock and bridge. Light is best in the morning. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
