I checked out Townline Park in North Perry this afternoon.  This is a
restricted access park just east of me.  They have a small harbor and I
thought maybe there would be some waterfowl or ducks taking refuge.  Not
much in the harbor, but I did have 2 PURPLE SANDPIPERS out on the breakwall.
They disappeared in the rocks and may have later flown as I was unable to
relocate them.  I watched the waterfowl flying by for about an hour.  It was
100% red-breasted mergansers.  I only had 53 Bonaparte's gulls this morning.
In the hour I was there I saw over 300 Bonaparte's pass by.  Of note was an
adult LITTLE GULL.



With the winds and cold weather tonight, the lake should really be active
tomorrow morning.
