The WESTERN GREBE that was found yesterday (3 December 2016) in the harbour in Midland was present again today (4 Dec).
Chris Evans and I found it around 11 a.m. to the east of Midland Bay Landing Park (288 Bayshore Drive). It was constantly swimming so it was hard to track. It initially headed east, but then it circled back and by noon it had worked its way back to the harbour, which is about 1 km SW of the Park. The harbour is on the north side of the intersection of King St. and Bayshore Drive in Midland, Simcoe County on the Georgian Bay coast. There is free parking at the Park and harbour. Lighting would be best in the morning or early afternoon. Also found were plenty of Long-tailed Ducks and three Common Loons. ********** Burke Korol Barrie, ON --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
