There are numbers of Horned Grebes at Shirley's Bay right now, in their beautiful breeding plumage. Three of them were swimming quite close to shore at the boat launch; others were further out.
Directions (taken from NeilyWorld): From Highway 417 (The Queensway) take exit 134 (Moodie Drive). If travelling west, the 0.4 km offramp dumps you right or north onto Moodie. If driving east, a 0.3 km offramp brings you to Moodie Drive, where you will turn left or north onto it and in 0.5 km join the westbound offramp traffic. Both groups will now follow Moodie Drive north 1.3 km from here to Carling Avenue. Turn left or northwest on Carling and go 2.2 km to Rifle (Range) Road. Turn right or north onto Rifle Road. The boat launch is at the end of Rifle Road.
