Hi All, Today (January 2) at noon as I was driving along Lakeshore Rd east of the village of Port Britain my daughter, Lindsay, said nonchalantly, "Turkey Vulture." I jammed on the brakes, pulled over and there sailing above me was a Turkey Vulture heading west. (I'll make a birder out of her yet!). We were within sight of Dickenson Rd.
Exit Hwy 401 at exit 456 and head south to the Lake Ontario (on the map it looks like you take Best's Rd jog east and then take Willow Beach Rd to Lakeshore Rd. I actually turn south at exit 440 and take Mill Street into Bond Head to Lakeshore and just follow that 20 km into Port Hope, better birding) Go east on Lakeshore through the village of Port Britain and Dickenson Rd is the first concession road east. Port Hope is about 4 km further east. The Greater White-fronted Geese were sitting on Cobourg Beach, at its east end, around 1:00 p.m.. They were in the middle of several hundred Canada's. I walked west along the beach from the foot of D'arcy Street. Take exit 474 off the 401 and go south on Division Street to King Street in Cobourg (the main east-west street downtown) and turn east on King to D'arcy Street. Go south to the lake. No sandpipers were present but someone was walking their dog where I "expected" they might be. Anne Anthony Peterborough "Anne Anthony" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
