The Red-necked Grebes nesting in the Bronte Harbour Outer Harbour Marina are having a good year. There are two nests each with two chicks as of this morning. I also saw a Common Loon fly inland.
This morning I spent some time looking for Least Bittern in Bronte Marsh without seeing or hearing any. Over the last week we have observed other people looking as well who presumably would have posted if any were observed. I will keep checking and post if I see any. Directions: Exit the QEW at Bronte Rd. (Oakville) then go south to the lake, turn left at Ontario St. You can park near the Lighthouse Restaurant. The grebe nests are near the playground equipment. Bronte Marsh is on the west side of Bronte Creek just upstream of the Lakeshore Road bridge.
