Title: Dying birds and fish
Post by: Irene on October 25, 2011, 05:32:50 PM

Another article regarding the dying fish in Ontario, I have heard there were as many as 5000 (according to CTV) near Lake Simco

A lot of the dead birds looked like Long-tailed Ducks from what I could see on the television news.

I was looking at some of the video online, and there was a large variety of birds...one even looked like a Horned Grebe..couldn't be sure the head was stuck in the sand :(
but yes when I read a few articles, long tailed ducks are affected as well

Gulls, ducks, loons, grebes, swans, geese... just about everything that would be hanging around there.
