Went down to Colonel Sam Smith park this morning at the bottom of Kipling ave and saw the Western Grebe and the Eared Grebe, also past where the Eared Grebe was hanging was a male Harlequin duck with some Goldeneye, need a scope to see it (thanks Gary Comb for finding it). Also saw here many red-necked and horned grebes, 2 purple martins, tree swallows, 2 common loons and in the woods just below the college saw a yellow-belllied sapsucker, golden-crowned kinglet and brown creeper. Then went to Humber Bay Park East to try for the 5th grebe of the day, Pied-billed and found one in the marina just north of the parking lot. Also here saw my first field sparrow and caspian tern of the year and lots of ruddy ducks, very good day to be out birding, too bad about the fog
Colonel Sam Smith is at the end of Kipling south of Lakeshore Blvd. Exit the Gardiner at Kipling and go south.
