Took a drive to Seabird Island yesterday and spent aa couple hours on the Chaplin Road Wetlands as well as the slough along Seabird island Road. It is about 90% ice free. Turned out to be a real mecca for Common Mergansers, seeing almost 4 dozen in total. Many bufflehead, mallards, and Bald eagles. Not many song birds, sparrows or finches. Saw 2 belted king fishers and a couple GB herons. All in all a good day. I am not seeing many reports coming out of Willband Creek. Before I make the trek down to Abbotsford I am wondering if anyone has been recently and is there much open water?

Lovely photos.
I was at Willband last week and it was very flooded. It's probably not clear yet but I haven't checked.

I am not seeing many reports coming out of Willband Creek. Before I make the trek down to Abbotsford I am wondering if anyone has been recently and is there much open water? Wilband was open Friday. I don't think it has rained enough to flood again but who knows how much rain we get tonight. |

Thanks much for the info. Here I'm thinking Frozen because Cheam Lake is frozen and I should have thinking flooded. I appreciate the first hand reporting.
