An interesting afternoon at Rattray Marsh in Mississauga. In the
marsh area were a number of Herring Gulls of various ages. Off shore
(mostly to the West) were large numbers of Red-necked Grebes (hard to
count at the distance and with the waves, but certainly in the
dozens), mixed with smaller numbers of Horned Grebes and Eared Grebes,
all three in nice breeding plumage for the most part. There were also
some Common Mergansers and Long-tailed Ducks in the distance.
Directions: Rattray Marsh can be accessed from several points along
the shore here, most directly from Bexhill Road going S off of the
Lakeshore Road W of Port Credit.
