Hi there, Apologies for the late-day post.
Sightings made on December 16, 2017. At 10:30 AM, along with the continuing male Harlequin at Unwin Avenue, I also saw one small, very white faced/cheeked/breasted grebe with red eyes which I believe to be an adult, male nonbreeding Horned Grebe. Only the one which swam in front of the look-out then stayed near to the channel mouth. Around noon, at the causeway on the outside of Embayment D, I saw an adult, male breeding Barrow's Goldeneye just beyond the stone groins in a group of about five Common Goldeneyes. An adult male Common was present to compare. Much darker back/sides with white 'dots' along side and tear-drop at front of face. The Unwin Avenue look-out is south off Unwin Avenue, west of Leslie Street and along the Outer Harbour Marina road in Toronto. Parking is ~200 m past the look-out. Tommy Thompson Park park entrance is located at Leslie Street and Unwin Avenue in Toronto. This is five minutes east of the DVP/Gardiner junction along Lake Shore Blvd East. To get to Embayment D, walk along the park road, well past the visitor center and turn right at the first main junction and head north towards the marina.
