Hi All,
We dropped in on Humber Bay this afternoon, to scan the ducks. There
was a good-sized raft in the sheltered (from the E wind) bay in the NE
corner of the park. Mosly these were lesser Scaup, Redheads,
Buffleheads, but there were also: a pair of Common Goldeneye, several
pairs of American Widgeons, at least 6 pairs of Hooded Mergansers, a
few Gadwall, and (at least) one male each of Ring Necked Duck and Ruddy
Duck. Off shore to the East were large numbers of Long-tailed ducks and
Red-breasted Mergansers. We got no sight of loons (of any flavour)
offshore.
