As this report is being written, winter has returned with a vengeance
to Presqu'ile Provincial Park. Through the past week, however, there
have been tantalizing hints that the next season is about to arrive.
Arrival of waterfowl: The hundreds of
Greater Scaup that were
in the Park through most of the winter have been augmented by new
arrivals and now number in the
thousands, among which are a few
Canvasbacks and Redheads.
Ring-billed Gulls have returned to Gull Island by
the thousands and some are beginning to stake out their territories.
A few more American Crows have
arrived than were present all winter, and one American Robin near the
lighthouse on the morning of
March 1 was also thought to be a new
arrival.
