In spite of a cold wind ( or maybe because we birded by car it wasn't too bad!) we found some interesting birds last weekend around Westport. 6 Ravens in total (4 at the Salem dump and 2 at Green Lake), a late male American Kestrel on Mulville Rd , near Fermoy, 1 Common Loon on Wolfe Lake, 1 Pine Grosbeak near Salem dump, about 10 Common Goldeneye male and female at the north end of Canoe Lake, and hundreds of Hooded Mergansers in several places: Sand Lake Westport, Canoe Lake (north end), Dewitt's Rd (along withabout 20 Ring-necked ducks) and many Common Mergansers in the same locations. At Green Lake, 3 female or juvenile male Common Mergansers were on the lake, and 3 Pileated Woodpeckers were drumming and then flying together.
Chickadees and White -breasted Nuthatches, and a Downy Woodpecker continue to come to the feeders.
Very cold birding, but productive!
