Petrie Island & Migratory Staging Areas with Tony Beck

Thursday Apr 19, 7:30 am

Today there were Tony, Peter, Al, Pavel, Antonia, Ron and me.

A pair of Buffledhead greeted us.  We spent the morning exploring Petrie Island, then went to Wall Road, where I had to leave for another commitment.  Afterwards, Barbara and I went to Aylmer on a whim, and found the Easetrn Screech Owl.
