Ontbirders,

Today at around 2:45 PM we were at Pier 26. A flock of about 15 Snow Bunting
were flying around and landing at different spots, to feed.
We had a very good look at them on the ground, for about 15 minutes.
Also an adult and an immature Bald Eagles were feeding on their
catch of the day, on the ice of the bay, observed from the same spot.

Pier 26:
Since the lift bridge is closed: from points east of Burlington you must
travel over the Burlington skyway bridge; exit at Woodward Ave and travel
back towards the bay to pier 26.

From Niagara; exit at Hwy 20 (Centennial) and stay on the north service

road(lakeside) past Hutches Restaurant to the lights were you turn left to
go under the QEW to Eastport...then right over to pier 26

Marienna and Karl Egressy.
