Hello Ontbirders
Spent the morning birding the Kingston waterfront before heading back to Carp. The Dupont Plant/Elevator Bay had a great selection of waterfowl including one female Ruddy Duck, 275+ Redhead, 6 American Wigeon,  24 American Coot, and 14 Tundra Swan. A brief stop at  Chaffey's Lock produced a male Wood Duck.
Good Birding and all the best in 2010!
Bruce and Ben

Directions: DuPont Plant: From Hwy. 401 take exit 615 (Sir John A.MacDonald) and proceed south to King St. West and turn right (west). Proceed west past Portsmouth Ave. to Cataraqui (Elevator) Bay where King St. becomes Front Rd. and where the DuPont (Invista) Plant property begins. The DuPont Pond is located by turning left (south) at the traffic lights and left again onto the road through the fence.
