Wheatley Harbour has been good for gulls the past couple of weekends. Yesterday I found a second winter Thayer's Gull hobnobbing with the Ring-billeds and Herrings in the marina. Dean Ware has been finding Icelands, and the first winter Lesser Black-backed I found a while ago is probably still there. Once the Bonaparte's return, it should be really fun and interesting. En route to the Harbour, I also spotted 2 Killdeer flying over a field along Kent Road 1 just north of Muddy Creek. I was surprised not to find more in the Hillman Marsh/Pelee area. However, numbers and variety of ducks have greatly increased. Look for them in the flooded fields south of Hillman Marsh in addition to the marsh proper. Wheatley Harbour can be reached by taking Kent Road 1 south from the heart of Wheatley to the lake. --Randy Horvath, Windsor <snorovich@hotmail.com> _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.
