Folks
More signs of spring are revealling themselves. Several hundred Tundra
Swans have appeared in Lambton County in the usual spot behind the Lambton
County Heritage Museum just south of Grand Bend. Many of the fields are
flooded providing good habitat for swans, Canada Geese, Mallards, Common
Goldeneye and Common Mergansers.
The Pinery Provincial Park still contains the usual good birds including
Red-headed Woodpeckers and Tufted Titmouses. There are a number of attack
Chickadees who think that everybody who appears is going to feed them.
As well, north of St. Paul's Station, just south of Stratford, the wet
fields this afternoon contained numerous flocks of Horned Larks and half a
dozen flocks of Snow Buntings, one of which contained a Lapland Longspur.
Grackles were present as well, but not Red-wing Blackbirds have been located
yet. Robins are no longer hard to find.
Directions to Lambton swans: The swans are to be found in the fields south
of Greenway Road, Lambton Road 5, at its western end where it meets
Lakeshore Road in Grand Bend or Highway 21.
This intersection in adjacent to the entrance to the Pinery Provincial Park.
