16 participants joined the Detroit River outing today, a joint effort of OFO and the Essex County Field Naturalists' Club. We had a great day w/ 50 species observed across 7 eBird hotspots in Windsor and Tecumseh. Temperatures stayed around 2C for the day w/ low winds making it a comfortable outing. The sky remained cloudy throughout the day and ended w/ a mix of rain, sleet, and snow in the final hour! During this outing, we hope for colder temperatures to freeze up Lake St. Clair and concentrate birds on the Detroit River but a week of mild temperatures melted all the ice on the river and lake. Waterfowl numbers weren't as high as usual but two major highlights made up for it: Long-eared Owl and Northern Saw-Whet Owl, which were lifers for several attendees. We started the outing at Lakeview Park Marina. Highlights included a Trumpeter Swan near Peche Island, a decent-sized raft of Canvasback and Redhead, and a flyby Lesser Black-backed Gull. We then headed over to the Little River Pollution Control Plant and Park where we picked up a pair of American Wigeon and an American Kestrel. After lunch we stopped at two spots along the upper Detroit River for closer views of several waterfowl species and a resident Peregrine Falcon perched next to the "A" of the Ambassador Bridge. We finished the outing w/ a walk through Ojibway Park where we had great looks at many Tufted Titmice, Brown Creeper, two Fox Sparrows, two Eastern Towhees, and good numbers of White-throated Sparrows, American Tree Sparrows, and Dark-eyed Juncos.
