[Ontbirds]Wood and Harlequin Ducks at Ashbridges Bay

[Norman Murr]

 For you winter birders and others that probably already have all of the below birds I will mention them anyway.

 At Ashbridges bay Park yesterday Margaret Liubavicius, Ian Cannell, Ed O'Conner and I found a female Wood Duck with Mallards under the feeders beside the main parking lot and in the same area Brown Creeper, Golden-crowned Kinglet and Common Redpolls and another birder told us that a male Harlequin Duck was in the boat launch area in the morning. Possibly the same one I reported on November 30th.

 On the base of The Leslie Street Spit before we went to Ashbridges we saw 2 Northern Shrikes along side the road.

Directions:-
ASHBRIDGE’S BAY PARK

The park is at Lake Shore Blvd E and Coxwell Ave.

By TTC you can access it via the #92 bus that leaves from the Woodbine Subway Station. It goes straight down Woodbine Ave, to Lake Shore Blvd E and then over to the park. The public docks and feeder area is just to the west of the bus stop / turn around.
