smerchly Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 Nice shots of the waterfowl ...never seen so many snow geese on land ! The River is a bird watchers paradise , a good place to spot the beautiful white egrets as well . Are those 3 birds mergansers ?Do you see many cormorants since there's plenty of bait fish ?

basscrazy Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 Those three are mergansers, hard to tell from the photo but I believe those to be swans not snow geese. Cormorants are early migrators, and for the most part are gone. Although fishing the upper in the summer there were thousands. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few mallards hanging around Port Dal today .....some kind of duck convention going on .....what a racket !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

genec Posted January 6, 2021 Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 Maybe they are discussing whether to fly south, or stay here for the winter and avoid all the Trump quacks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave524 Posted January 6, 2021 Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 Nice pics, 50 plus years ago did that drive with my parents often and dad had a high power spotting scope. My favourite was watching the otters on Navy Island, no Comorants back then. Think those are all swans, snow geese are only slightly bigger than a mallard and swans are bigger than Canadas.
