[Ontbirds] Northern Shovelers - Humber Bay Park
Hello Birders,I observed 6 drake Shovelers in a mixed flock of Mallards and Gadwall in the small ponds behind the main parking lot. They seemed quite settled so would imagine they'll be around for a few more days at least.Also large numbers of Hooded Mergansers sprinkled around the Bay and in the flood ponds.Humber Bay Park is located just west of downtown Toronto, with access off Lakeshore Blvd. ___ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.

At Fifty Point Conservation area were the usual CANADA GEESE and MALLARDS. Also a large flock of about 50 SNOW BUNTINGS were feeding in the second last parking area to the right beyond the road which goes left around the ponds. Directions: Grimsby Lagoons - exit QEW at Casablanca and turn north to the lake. Follow the lakeshore road west to the maintenance shed on the right hand side after Oakes Rd. Park and follow the path to the lagoons. Do not go past the DND's No Trespassing signs. Fifty Point Conservation area: Take the same route for Grimsby Lagoons but proceed further west along the lakeshore road until you reach the entrance to the Conservation area on the right hand side. Alternatively take the QEW to Fifty Road exit, turn right on the service road then left on the next road which will take you to Fifty Point on your left. Barb Wright [EMAIL PROTECTED] Beamsville, ON
