Monday Morning Mill Pond

There's hardly a breath of wind this morning as ducks, geese and noisy gulls go about their morning food patrols. The ever-present gulls. I have even seen a whole harvested wheat field full of them just standing there doing nothing.
Today is our last day at Lion's Head and we'll be packing up the trailer then heading back to Stratford.

The western part of southern Ontario borders Lake Huron, the second biggest of the 5 fresh water lakes making up the Great Lakes and receives steady winds from the west, therefore this coastal area is the ideal place to erect wind turbines to generate electricity. This electricity generation in the province of Ontario, however, is quite controversial and is cited as being the most expensive in North America. The nearest nuclear power station is also on the west coast of Ontario near Kincardine.

Getting back to the gulls, they are opportunistic feeders and therefore inhabit human settlements feeding on garbage dumps and around harbours. The term seagull is incorrectly used for these birds and there is no bird called a seagull , but simply "gull". They live near the sea, but can live near inland water as well, like the Great Lakes of north America.
