Today, March 10th, around noon, we have 3 Barrows Goldeneye ducks here on Lovers Creek in the South of Barrie, off of Country Lane. These are not common around here. Seem to enjoy the security and comfort that the other hundred ducks and assorted Canadian Geese provide. We also had a gorgeous male Hooded Merganser stoppping by on the weekend.
Wish I had a camera with telephoto lens to show you all. Have to look at them through our binoculars only.
Things are a bit flooded out here so there's lots of water to swim within the flood plain. This area can be seem by the access to the naturalized area on Country lane just south of Esther Drive.
