.... seemed a shame to waste a rare, sunny afternoon - so headed back down to the lake front - J.C. Saddington Park (Lake Street and Lakeshore Road East - downtown Port Credit!)

 

... these guys are Buffleheads.  According to my National Geographic Field Guide to Birds - they fly south to the sunny climes around Lake Ontario to spend the winter ... one of us seems to have not grasped the concept of "flying south"!!

(.... the swallows may fly back to Capistrano .... but it appears the

sea gulls fly back to the marina in Port Credit ...)
