Hello,
There has been a report of a drake Barrow's Goldeneye in London today by Ben Evans. I don't have an exact location, but it is in the river around the Springbank/Greenway park area. I know that at least four birders, including myself, went out looking for it this afternoon, unsuccessfully. It could very well still be in the area, as I believe there was a section of the river nobody checked. On a side note, there have also been reports of Horned Grebes, a Pied-billed Grebe, Northern Pintails, a Red-breasted Merganser, and a Long-tailed Duck, all of which are winter rarities in Middlesex. Springbank Park has many access points off of Commissioner's Road and Springbank Drive. Consider parking at Storybrook Gardens off of Commissioner's. Greenway Park can be accessed by turning onto Greenside Ave. off of Springbank Drive. There is a parking lot past the wastewater plant. Often ducks will concentrate along the stretch of water off of Greenway Park. Good birding, Quinten Wiegersma London, Ont https://birdsbugsbotany.blogspot.ca/ https://naturalistsoftomorrow.blogspot.ca/ [email protected] _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
