At 11:30AM, we saw our first 8 Red-winged Blackbirds of the season at Col. Samuel Smith Park (Kipling and the Lakeshore in Etobicoke). They formed a very noisy/feisty arc around the parking lot. There was also one Northern Mockingbird just south of the parking lot singing on territory and three Horned Grebes at the entrance to the marina.
At Humber Bay East, we found 2 more Red-winged Blackbirds. Humber Bay West provided one male Hooded Merganser and nearby Mimico Creek (just south of the pedestrian footbridge) had 27 Mute Swans and 2 Trumpeter Swans (#522 and #607).
