>From 11:30am until noon today my friend and I watched a group American >Widgeons (about 10-15) and Northern Pintails (9) feeding and resting in the >first pond of the area between Lock 1 and Jones Beach Port Dalhousie/St. >Catharines. Viewing was best this morning from the west side of the pond. Take the QEW to exit 44 - Niagara Street. Go north on Niagara to Lakeshore. Turn right on Lakeshore (currently some construction underway) and cross the canal. Turn left at Seaway Haulage Road and stay on this road to the left as it goes along the edge of the canal until you reach a gate; a parking area is along the road. The walk to the pond along a hard-packed trail is about a km to the east side trail viewing area, a bit further on the hard-packed trail if you go to the west trail side of the pond.
