Waterfowl watching was quite productive today on the St. Clair River. Many
birders were out today.
Thousands of ducks of at least 16 species were present from Fawn Island to
Sarnia.
Notables included:
4 Long-tailed (female) at Shell Oil Corunna
1 Am. Wigeon (male) at Lambton Generating Station (always there!)
3 N. Pintail (male) at end of Bickford Line (south of LGS)
4 Gadwall (male) same spot as above
-lots of Hooded Mergs in various spots.
-3 Tundra Swans south of LGS.
-at least 5 Bald Eagles (3 ad.)
-at least 5 Glaucous Gulls various ages
-several Wild Turkeys near end of Bickford Line (thanks I. W.)
-Harlequin Duck (male) was noted at Fawn Island yesterday.
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.
