I was surprised to find a Ross's Goose today at about 11:45 feeding on a
lawn with 200 Canada Geese beside the leash-free area at Lakeside Park
in Mississauga. Modest care needed not to flush the geese. Resident
Peregrine Falcons (2) were also active and roosting on the Holcim cement
factory structures. Best viewed off Arrowhead Road north of Lakeshore.
Earlier in Port Credit I saw a female King Eider at a distance of 50
feet from the end of the east side promenade on Credit River (Snug
Harbour). At least 4 Yellow-rumped Warblers were active in the Snug
Harbour parking lot.
Directions - Goose from QEW exit at Southdown Road south to Lakeshore
Road - park in the first lot on the left (Lakeside Park)
Directions - Eider from QEW exit Hurontario south past Lakeshore - take
first right and drove west to end of road at Stavebank - left into Snug
Harbour restaurant parking lot aka JJ Plaus Park
