Lockport

On my way back from birding Clandeboye Road, I stopped in at Lockport because why not. Not much of a story to tell, but a couple of neat shots. Let's get to it.

Prepare to be spammed by a bunch of photos of Ring-billed Gulls. This individual allowed me to get within 6 feet of it! Don't worry we were responsible and practiced physical distancing. Now I know most people don't like gulls, but tell me that this one, in pristine breeding plumage, doesn't look simply stunning.

You can't do a post on Lockport and not include pelicans.

On the other, less turbulent side of the locks I found a group of Hooded Mergansers. These are certainly unique ducks!

Where there's water, there's geese. Lockport is no exception.
