After Richards report yesterday I decided to check out the Windsor Sewage Ponds this morning while doing some errands nearby. I was not expecting a great deal as it was just past low tide and I assumed that most birds would be away feeding. However, I was surprised at the shear number of birds present - perhaps the very cold winds led them to stay in a more sheltered location. Those same wind forced me to make most of the observations from the car, once I had taken a quick look around to see what was where. There are now 3 Ruddy ducks and possibly a fourth which I found for a few minutes and then could not locate again. The 3 were resting quietly in a tight little group, easily seen with those pointy tails sticking right up. There are also a pair of American Wigeon, also easy to see, the male being very distinctive with that white stripe on the top of his head. Also seen were:- 4 blue winged Teals 26 Green winged Teals 5 Greater Yellowlegs 12 Mallard 50+ Black Ducks 100+ Canada Geese The usual hoard of gulls. Some of the Canada Geese show considerable size variations and a few of them are so dark on the back you could almost call it black instead of the normal grey. John Belbin - Hantsport
