Hey fellow birders,
Today I scoured the western shores of lake ontario from Grimsby to Etobicoke
and would have to say that the highlight of my day (aside from meeting a lovely
fellow birder at Colonel Samuel Smith Park) was finding a single male Northern
Pintail Duck in Ben Machree Park, Port Credit- Missisauga.
He was dabbling along side a small group of Mallards (5-6 birds total) very
close to the rocky shoreline and allowed me to view him from as close as 15
feet... He really liked to stay close to the rocky shore so it may be a bit
tricky to find him at first.
Directions are as follows:
*Take Mississauga Rd Southbound all the way into JC Saddington Park (Park your
vehicle here)
*Head to the path along the water and walk westbound until you come into Ben
Machree Park (about a 5-10 minute walk).
Happy birding,
Chris Kinkartz
