South Bay Cres Public Boat Launch : Creek leading to South Bay on Lake Ontario

Less than 1 MM rain in past 24 hours....been very dry here in PEC . Overcast today with little wind. Could hear lots of birds in the bullrushes but not seen. Fish jumping, waterbugs, frogs singing. Gentle current flowing in from the lake every 15 mins or so. Spent a half hour chatting with a gentleman who was in hip waders with small net testing here for data about marsh areas for the Federal Govt. and Birds Canada. Tyler Hoar is a well known author of Bird books and he was eager to share all sorts of interesting information with me as we did our tests, & I referred him to our WaterRangers site to see the work being done there. Here is a bio from one of the sites where his birding books can be found.......”TYLER HOAR is an avid naturalist and ornithologist with extensive experience in birding surveys and research across North America. In recent years, he has been involved in bird population studies for the Royal Ontario Museum and the Canadian Wildlife Service in Ontario and Quebec. He has a biology degree from the University of Guelph. When not working, Tyler has travelled extensively through North America, Central America, the South Pacific and Australia while enjoying his passion for birding and nature appreciation. “
