[Ontbirds]Red-necked & Horned Grebe at Col. Sam Smith Park

[Wayne Renaud]

Yesterday afternoon I found fair numbers of Red-necked Grebes and a few
Horned Grebes (5) at Col. Sam Smith Park (30) and an other cluster just west
of three where Long Branch meets Lakefront Promenade (30 RNGR; 14 HOGR).
Most of Rednecks were in breeding plumage but only one of the Horned Grebes
as in breeding plumage.  Further west, at Lakefront Promenade Park in
Mississauga I also found two Pied-grebes in the lagoon adjacent to the Port
Credit Yacht Club house bridge.  The light was perfect, but in a tedious
search of the lake to the horizon I located no loons.

Directions: Col. Sam Smith Park is located bottom of Kipling where it hits
lakeshore; continue south and park at the very end of the road.  Port Credit
Yacht Club is located off Lakeshore Promenade which runs off Lakeshore about
4 blocks east of Cawtha (just east of Tim Hortons!).
