Hello Ontbirders
The numbers of waterfowl continue to increase at Presqu'ile.
Yesterday, Feb.29, I observed 15 species including 120 Mute swan,
15,100 Greater Scaup, 4 Lesser Scaup, 1 Ring-necked Duck, 350
Canvasback, 1,100 Redhead, 900 Long-tailed Duck, 155 Bufflehead, 440
Common Goldeneye, 2 Hooded Merganser, and 148 Common Merganser. Most of
these birds were in Presqu'ile Bay. There were a few 1000 Ring-billed
Gulls on Gull Island and an adult Bald Eagle on High Bluff Island.
