Hi all: FYI
Today while leading a bird hike for The Riverwood Conservancy, we found a
juvenile (1st year) paler Thayer's Gull sitting on the Credit river ice, seen
well with scope views for all to study it's characteristic plumage. It was best
seen from JC Saddington Park on the west side, Hamilton side, of the Harbour.
Other birds, if in the area,..
about 100 Redheads ( east of Marina near Gazebo at the bottom of Hiway #10)
12 Gadwall and 800 Greater Scaup, with the usual RB Mergansers, Am.
Goldeneye, Buffleheads, etc...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Direction: To reach Saddington Park, from QEW go south on Mississauga Rd. all
the way to Lake Ontario, park and walk east to Credit river.
Or QEW south to Hurontario (Hiway#10) to Lake Ontario park near Gazebo for
Redheads; drive to Snugs Restaurant parking lot and look for Gulls on the ice
or Flying for Thayer's Gull
