After the rain & melt yesterday Big Creek overflowed its banks
overnight. This morning there were 8 male wood ducks riding the current
down the Creek & then swimming up stream in the quieter waters of the
flooded field to ride again.
There was snow overnight (about 4"...sorry not good on cms) so there is
a feeding frenzy at the feeders this morning, including approx. 175
siskins & the regulars plus 2 unhappy looking robins watching from the
tree above (#905, just west of the bridge). Lots of sumac around so
I'm sure they'll find food.
Big Creek crosses the 6th Conc. just west of Walsingham. I'm sure there
will be more ducks by days end. Quite a lot of the water in the field
which is coated in snow but that should melt quickly.
Flocks of Tundra Swans in the fields along Front Road west of #59 near
Port Rowan yesterday.
Walsingham is on Hwy. #59, north of Long Point.
