I could not relocate the Grebe this morning after about 3/4 of an hour. Tha= ts all the time I had to look. The weather was awful, pouring rain with qu= ite a bit of chop so it is quite possible I missed it. There are still betw= een 20 and 30 Red-necked Grebes around the point. Unfortunately that's it f= or me as I am out of the country until the 8th of December. If you don't ge= t out of your car when you first arrive you can get really close looks at s= ome the Red-necked Grebes provided there are no dog walkers.=0A=0ACheers Ji= m Coey=0A =0ATo get to Minets point Park from Hy 400 get off at Mapleview R= d and go East to Yonge Street.
