Sunday Report

I went back to Rondeau today. The weather was rather crappy and very windy out of the SE. An easterly wind means weather and it is the worst wind for birding around here. The lake was fairly active with gulls and ducks though. Landbirds were scarce.

The highlight of south point trail in the park was a group of five Bald Eagles. Two adults and four immatures. I heard the adults squawking long before I saw the birds roosting in trees.

There were not many small birds and it was hard to hear with the wind and the waves. A couple of Pine Siskins were wandering around.

There were lots of gulls around, but most were too distant to bother looking at. Even at the Blenheim Lagoons, there were many gulls. The highlight there was an adult Lesser Black-backed Gull.

A Horned Grebe was in Erieau Harbour.
