[Ontbirds]Bonaparte's gulls Amherstview

[Paul Mackenzie]

Here the snow and ice are in fast retreat and although we have seen 
no Bonaparte's Gulls on the opening water of Lake Ontario yet, about 
30 were feeding at the Amherstview sewage lagoon April 2. Also there 
among many ducks were a pair of Northern Shoveler and a male 
Canvasback. Observered by Joel Ellis, Bud Rowe, and P. Mackenzie

Amherstview lagoons can be found south off Taylor-Kidd Blvd west of 
Coronation Blvd and not far east of County Road 6. It is not 
necessary to enter the locked gate to see the birds at the nearest 
pond beside the water treatment building there.
