[Ontbirds]Mid-winter waterfowl count

[Don Perks]

Birders;
   Yesterday John Lamey found a female barrow's goldeneye close to shore at 
the foot of Elmwood Dr. in Port Credit .This active bird was feeding very 
close to the shore just to the east of Elmwood.
Also he found a female harlequin duck in the same area off Mississauga Rd 
along the Waterfront Trail,this was about 3.15 pm.We also saw glaucous and 
iceland gulls on the ice in the Credit rivermouth..
  Extreme foggy conditions at the outset by the Humber it did get better.A 
single yellow-rumped warbler was at the gazebo in Port Credit by Tall Oaks 
Park.(7  birds there last year)
Directions for all 3 sites Exit the Q.E. way at # 132 drive south to the 
lake along St.Lawrence Dr. to the gazebo find the warbler then walk about 
300 yds further east to Elmwood Ave S. and look east along the shoreline.For 
the harlequin drive west along the Lakeshore Rd. to Mississauga Rd.turn 
south to the lakefront parking lot then walk along the Waterfront trail and 
watch the shoreline.
Best of luck
