OFO Trip summary: Three relatively new birders attended today's waterfront outing along the lakeshore west of Toronto. 38 species were seen. The small group size allowed us to linger on each species and look at details. The day began at Humber Bay Park where we were lucky to get a good look at a Winter Wren.. Other highlights here were White-winged Scoter, Great Black-backed Gull and Green-winged Teal.
The next stop was Colonel Sam Park, where an American Widgeon, Red-Necked Grebes and numberous other waterfowl were seen. The final stop of the day was Sedgwick Park where Nashville and Yellow-rumped Warblers were still present. Also seen were Golden=crowned and Ruby Crowned Kinglets as well as another Winter Wren and Brown Creeper. Many thanks to the three eager participants for their enthusiasm and companionship! It’s a great day when you can add 9 new species to your life list!
