Hi all,
Whilst cruising the area north-east of Bayfield we saw an adult Bald Eagle
perched at the edge of the Maitland River from Stone School Line, north of Lobb
Rd. Probably this bird would be visible from School Line C.R.#8, north of
Summerhill.
At #40114 Winthrop Rd. east of Hwy #4 we counted 11 Bald Eagles, 8 of
which were adults. This seems to be a poultry processing property with lots of
crows, 3 Herring Gull and a Rough-legged Hawk also present. At Hullet Wildlife
Area( Baldoon Line and Summerhill Rd we saw our 13th Bald Eagle - another adult
perched on a tree in the frozen pond to the south. Sorry for the delayed
posting but I thought his would be of interest to anyone travelling on Hwy #4
or in this area.
I'll add my two bits regarding wee Wiarton Wilie's prognostications to the
contrary - on Wed 03/02 we saw 2 Great Blue Heron in Pinery P.P. south of the
causeway in atiny bit of open water and a male and female Red-winged Blackbird
perched close together at "L" lake on Outer Drive, Port Franks. Along Klondyke
Rd we saw an American Robin, having not seen any of these in this area since
early/mid Dec - I'm saying 'spring is on the way!'
Cheers! Maris
