This morning on Cooks Bay at Gilford,there were 2 Adult Bald Eagles feeding on a Canada Goose out on the ice.There was a possible 3rd Adult (most likely 1 of the 2)at Degrassi Point,seen 20 minutes before the 2 were seen at Gilford.

On the 20th Sideroad at the 2nd Line of Innisfil was a flock in my estimate to number close to 600 Snow Buntings. When they flew about it was just a mass of "Cloud".
A spectacular sight!

The Eagles were seen in Gilford: Hwy 89(becomes Shore Acres Drive at Hwy 11) as far east as you can possibly travel(until the ice is thicker). 500 yards out on the Ice!

The Snow Buntings: Hwy 89 East to the 20th Sideroad(AAMCO Gas Station) turn left onto 20th, Just short of the curve in road on East side.
