A trip down to Humber Park East in Toronto today was quite good. Didn't find any sign of the Harlequin Duck but did have two Pie-billed Grebe, Ring-necked Duck, Northern Shoveler and Cormorants among the many other ducks there. Also there was quite a few Tree Swallows flying around and plenty of Song Sparrows. All in all it was a very good day out.
