There is a ring-billed colony that contains nesting ring-billed gulls, double-crested cormorants and black-crowned night herons that starts about 1m off the road. For those that have never seen a colony in action, this is a great opportunity to see gulls nesting. The chicks are just starting to hatch. The black-crowned night herons are also very close and sitting on nests.
Pictures of the colony are available at: http://www.giraud.com/cgi-bin/ImageFolio31/imageFolio.cgi?direct=Birding/20030526_Eastport_Dr_Gull_Colony Eastport Drive is an exit before and after the Burlington Skyway. The colony starts at the first pond as you head west. Thanks Jacques "Jacques Giraud" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Visit http://www.ofo.ca/ontbirdsguide.htm for information on leaving and joining the list.
