I located and photographed the harlequin duck pair at Humber Bay Park East located by Garth Riley several days ago. The male is in superb breeding plumage. Also present were trumpeter swan, mute swan, mallard, black duck, gadwall, hooded merganser, common merganser, red-breasted merganser, horned grebe (3), Canada goose, redhead, canvasback, long-tailed duck, common goldeneye and greater scaup.
