Fraser Derraugh and myself were at Strathcona Park this morning (8:30am). Near the shore was one of the male BARROW'S GOLDENEYE that have been around the area for the past few weeks. A second male BARROW's GOLDENEYE was further downstream to the south. Other waterfowl consisted of about a dozen or more COMMON MERGANSERS, and lots of COMMON GOLDENEYE, MALLARDS, and AMERICAN BLACK DUCKS. On the frozen portion of the river, just adjacent to the parking lot at Strathcona, was a very late juvenile COMMON YELLOWTHROAT hiding in some dead vegetation.

Pat DIRECTIONS: Strathcona Park is located on Range Road, south of Laurier Avenue, across the river from the Rideau Tennis Courts. _________________________________________________________________ Ready.
