I left at 8:30am with the bird having come in about 6 or 7 times. As mentioned in previous notes, this bird seems to be a Rufous/Allen's Hummingbird, but I'll leave that discussion to others. On the drive home, I stopped in at Fruitland Road (Stoney Creek), all 3 Scoter species were there (approx. 10 Black, 20 Surf, 200+ White-winged) and 2000+ Greater Scaup, many Long-tailed Duck & Common Goldeneye, I was only there for about 10 minutes.
