Took a trip to Long Point today. Many hundreds of Canvasbacks could be seen from the causeway and the trailer park at the east end of the causeway. Also present were Ring necked ducks.
North of Culloden, not far from Ingersoll, was a flock of about 200 Tundra swans in a cornfield. In Vienna, on a small pond, I spotted a male Hooded Merganser. Also along the small river that runs through Vienna, a pileated woodpecker and a Red bellied Woodpecker. A male Hairy woodpecker was also seen working on a nest cavity on Somers road, near Eden. I returned late in the day and he was still working on it.
