Following up on a report (OutdoorOntario.net) that a Western Grebe was found by Ed O'Connor at Ashbridges' Bay Park, Toronto, 13 February; I eventually refound the bird today (15 February) at 17:15, ID was also confirmed by Roy Smith on the spot.
The Grebe was quite far out on the lake, off the point that is completely surrounded with very large rocks along the shoreline, there was also a 'No Swimming' sign on a lamp there, this penbinsular is about 200-300m east of the extreme SW tip. Small images of the Grebe were obtained which are sufficiently clear for documentation. Directions: Ashbridge's Bay Park is at foot of Coxwell Road, off Lakeshore Blvd., east of the Leslie Street Spit inToronto.
