Last time I saw numbers like this at the base of Appleby Road in Burlington was around 1995. Tens of thousands of waterfowl spread out between Burloak and Walkers Road Saturday late afternoon. Majority were Scaup with a large percentage apparently Lesser Scaup. Also in large numbers were Long-tailed Duck with Scaup. Surprised not see Scoters.
There were very few ducks and lots of ice in Stoney Creek. Directions Appleby Road is an exit on the QEW. Exit south and continue south past Lakeshore Road to the last. -- Mark Cranford cranford AT allstream DOT net Mississauga, Ontario Mark Cranford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Visit http://www.ofo.ca/ontbirdsguide.htm for information on leaving and joining the list.
