Hi all, The Barrow's is still in the same area. Apparently it alternates between Gray Rd and Sayer's Park. Today it was Sayer's Park @ about 11:00-12:00. The bird was seen at medium range off shore with lots of Common Goldeneyes - was difficult to find and to follow. Scope was essential. The area holds a large number of other duck species (e.g. all 3 Scoters).
At Van Vagner's beach 2-3 Red-throated loons were seen (mainly flying) today and yesterday. The Hamilton bay held 7 Red-necked Grebes and 2 Horned yesterday. Also 1 Common Loon. These were seen from the view point off North Shore Av. about 0.5km West from the QEW. 1 more Red-necked seen from La-Selle. RAY ROAD, LAWRENCE SAYER'S PARK & GREEN ROAD IN STONEY CREEK >From the Toronto direction exit the QEW highway at Centenial Parkway on the south end of the Burlington Skyway. Drive under the QEW and drive a short distance to the North Service Road, turn right and drive along the Service Road to Drake Drive (just past the Gray Road overpass). Turn left on Drake and drive the short distance to Frances Avenue and turn left, drive to Gray Road and turn right and drive to the lake. Alternately you can turn right at Frances Avenue and drive to Green Road, turn left at Green Road and drive to the lake. For Lawrence Sayer's Park you can turn right off Gray Road just before you get to the lake and drive to the park (obey the no parking signs here as others have received a ticket). Or you can drive straight down Drake to the park from the Service Road. Happy birding, Ady Gancz, Guelph, ON Ady Gancz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Visit http://www.ofo.ca/ontbirdsguide.htm for information on leaving and joining the list.
