Dear Fellow Birders, Dropped by Bronte Harbour today to look for the Harlequin Ducks, but had no luck with them. Instead I turned up 181 Red-necked Grebes offshore, normally I wouldn't report grebes, but this number seemed notable. There were probably more in the area as part of the lake is blocked by the harbour. Several of the grebes were also in the actual harbour as well and offer better views than the ones offshore. Directions: Exit the QEW at Bronte Rd, in Oakville (west of Toronto), and follow this south right down to where it dead-ends at the lake. Park and look offshore, particularly to the east of the harbour.
