Barrie Lions are building up Posted on October 6, 2017 at 06:04:11 PM by Alex Mills
A breeding-plumaged Pacific Loon was reported yesterday among 100s of Common Lions off Minet's Point in Barrie.
I was there at noon today and saw the bird in fine light with no wind. There were in excess of 500 Common Loons, and there were numbers of Double-crested Cormorants and Red-necked Grebes as well.
It seems likely that this represents that great pairing of natural events -- the southward loon migration and the moving into Kempenfelt of large numbers of Emerald Shiners. Replies:
