Today was a rather disappointing day for birding. Hardly anything around! There was quite a bit of activity on the lake, but nothing special. No Gannets here.
At Erieau, some Long-tailed ducks were around. One was right in the channel.
Also off McGeachy Pond, 3 Black Scoters were hanging out with two Surf Scoters near the raft of scaup. A couple of Long-tailed ducks were there as well.
Lots of gulls were way out.
I checked out Ridgetown Lagoons too. Some Dunlin, one White-rumped and about 20 Killdeer were present among the many Canada Geese.
The Wilson's Phalarope was still at Blenheim.
I covered lots of ground and was home by 1 p.m.!
Later I went out to Port Lambton and found the local Mallards. The oddball was swimming close by with six other mallards. An interesting duck!

Blake, I guess we'll have to get used to ducks and about 40 or so birds that overwinter in SW Ontario. Hopefully, a few irruptive species show up!
