Posting for Brian Wilkie who is away from his computer :
Today , Friday Mar. 25, Brian visited the Blenheim Lagoons.
Although the cells are still mostly ice-covered, there is a
corner of Cell # 3 with a fair bit of water. This was filled with
waterfowl----making for easy viewing----keep a good distance
away of course----use your scope.
There were great #'s of Pintail, Canada Geese, Tundra Swan.
At least 20 species in all , of birds----including 14 Greater
White - Fronted Geese-----a record # for these lagoons.
I will post tomorrow, if they stayed over night.
