Moments ago a pair of Forster's Terns came up Leeds Creek to make a few
dives for us in front of our house.  First of the year for this site.
    In mid-afternoon today I took a look at the waterfowl that were using
the newest Pickering Creek wetland ponds.  Best of the birds were
congregated at the pond farthest west beside Presquile Road.
    Species present:
        American Coot         18+
        Buffleheads                 7
        Greater Scaup             5
        Northern Shoveler    30+
        Gadwall                          2
        Ring-necked Duck        7
        Green-winged Teal    88+
        Mallard                          8
        Canada Geese                3 pair nesting
 
        An adult Bald Eagle passed overhead; many Tree Swallows claiming
bird houses; and numerous Song Sparrows in the grassy fields.
