Hi Birders, Here's what I missed yesterday. The river is quite open today and the waterfowl are spread out. On my way back I stopped at Marshy Creek Park north of Port Lambton. There were some excellent birds here. In the distance I picked out a type of grebe. I waited about 20 min. since I knew I had something good. It flew in closer. Turned out to be a RED-NECKED GREBE. This is an extremely excellent bird for the river. In fact, I have never seen one on the river. Others here included a female WOOD DUCK (first bird I looked at), female LONG-TAILED and the WHITE-WINGED SCOTER. The GADWALL were still at Cathcart Park.
Marshy Creek Park is just north of the village of Port Lambton in front of Riverview Public School. Directions to Sombra and St. Clair River: Find Hwy 40 which runs N/S between Sarnia and Wallaceburg. Turn west on Lambton Rd. 2 (Bentpath Line) and take to Sombra on the river. Sombra Bay is right in front of you. Fawn Island is just to the south of the village. The St. Clair Parkway (Rd. 33) follows the river along its length. ________________________________ Blake A.
