A male Harlequin was observed on the Port Weller end of the Seaway today during the Mid-winter Waterfowl Count. It was first seen beside the wharf at the coast guard station on the west side of the canal. It gradually swam about 100 yards north of the station and then returned to the vicinity of the wharf.
Directions from previous postings; From QEW, exit at Niagara Street and head north on Niagara Street. Continue along Niagara until it ends at Lakeshore Road. Turn right onto Lakeshore Road and cross the Welland Canal at Lock 1. Drive until Seaway Haulage Road, turn left onto this road, and continue until you reach the recreation trails along the canal. Walk down the road or the path, till the coast guard station is visible across the canal. Scan the shoreline in the vicinity of the coast guard station. -- Do not reply to [email protected] Please reply to [email protected] _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
