This past week has been quite something in Ontario!
Last Sunday I visited the Rondeau area to have a look around. I stopped into Ridgetown on the way, and was rewarded with some Snow Geese and Greater White-fronted Geese.

Rondeau itself was pretty quiet, but I was able to find a few things here and there, including my first of year (FOY) Eastern Phoebes and Rusty Blackbirds of the year.

| Lesser Scaup |

There was a flooded field just north of Shrewsbury which was quite productive. I managed to find my FOY Dunlin and Lesser Yellowlegs.

Last stop was the Blenheim Sewage Lagoons.
Plenty of ducks and Bonaparte's Gulls!

Just before I left, this Eastern Meadowlark popped up.
Fast forward to yesterday. I managed to get out to the landfill before the ice storm hit to look for some of the reported gulls. Although I missed the Glaucous Gull, I did see my FOY Lesser Black-backed Gull. I managed some far off record photos.
I also came across my FOY Greater Yellowlegs, as well as a Lesser Yellowlegs.

Hopefully this weird weather clears out soon!
