March 28, 2007 - Not very Spring-like today, with gale-force north winds and
chilly temperatures.

I did a bit of a drive around locally in the afternoon.  At Port Williams
sewage ponds, 34 MALLARDS.  At Van Nostrandıs Pond on Starrıs Point, 2+1
CANADA GEESE and 2 MALLARDS.

Canning: just upstream from the Aboiteau in the river were 200 CANADA GEESE
and 4 COMMON MERGANSERS (1m,3f); in the river behind the Legion and in the
field adjacent to the river were 400+ CANADA GEESE.

Canard Pond and Fred Thomas Road both had many GULLS, but I couldnıt spot
any reportable species.  Canard Pond also had a few MALLARDS and a couple of
BLACK DUCKS.  

I was too late to look at the New Minas sewage ponds, but from Middle Dyke
Road I could see several ICELAND GULLS there.

During my drive of over an hour, I saw no grackles nor red-winged blackbirds
nor robins.
