On Saturday, February 16, between 1600-1630h, the
following species were foraging and resting in open
water about 200 m off the north shore of the Inner
Bay.  I had good views/light from the first parking
area along Front Street, just east of Port Rowan.

Tundra Swan - 60
Trumpeter Swan - 5
Redhead - 250+
Canvasback - 8
Common Goldeneye - 4
Greater Scaup - 10
Mallard  - 2
Canada Goose - 35

Also seen along the Long Point Causeway:

Redtail Hawk - several soaring over Big Creek NWA 
Rough-legged Hawk - 2 perched on willows along
causeway
Northern Harrier - flying low on east side of causeway

I also had a kingfisher around the boathouses within
the cottage community across from Marina Shores.
