Hi all, I took a run out to the St. Clair River in mid afternoon (Sat.) and found the river littered with waterfowl. On my way south, I came across a RED-NECKED GREBE off Marshy Creek park south of Fawn Island. This is the exact-same spot I reported one on Feb. 2. Strangely enough, that was the only day it was reported, but I assume it is the same individual. Also at this location was a COMMON LOON-- I had not seen one since late December. Around Sombra I had up to 5 WHITE-WINGED SCOTERS scattered about. The PINTAILS I reported the other day were farther north, off Cathcart Park. There were so many ducks all along the river, it was impossible to look at all of them.
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. Marshy Creek Park is a few km south of Sombra in front of Riverview Public School. ________________________________ Blake A.
