Hi, Birders.
At Kettle Point early this morning there was a light
movement of loons and a heavy movement of Pintails along with other puddle
ducks. A Horned Lark and two probable Longspurs came in together around
8.30am.
Finding no signs of any pelagics, I joined up with Carole Buck and we
went to the 'lighthouse' in Point Edward.
One of the first birds seen was a SABINES GULL that flew into Lake
Huron. After much searching we re found the bird with a companion. Both
were Adult SABINES GULLS.. Combined with the two imms seen by Allan
Chartier in the same area an hour or so earlier from the American side,
that means that there were four SABINES in the South end of Lake Huron
today. No doubt a record number.
Allen also found what he thought was a MEW GULL type on the beach in
the same general area.
To get to Point Edward from out of town take the Front Street exit in
Sarnia. Turn North(Left) on Front St. and go to the lights. Turn L again
and turn Rt. on Alfred St. then the first L. Continue to Fort St. and turn
Rt. The car park at the end at the mouth of the River is the spot to be for
pelagics on a stormy day.
Good Birding. Alf.
