From my viewing, I have yet to see any winter ducks near to shore, and the hunters weren't successful either off of the Owen Point islands. En route to and while in the park, I saw upwards of 30 migrating turkey vultures - a sure sign of things to come. The leaves in the park have yet to change colour, however, along the 401, there are several locales where the leaves are now a bright red, orange, and yellow.
