Yesterday afternoon I found fair numbers of Red-necked Grebes and a few Horned Grebes (5) at Col. Sam Smith Park (30) and an other cluster just west of three where Long Branch meets Lakefront Promenade (30 RNGR; 14 HOGR). Most of Rednecks were in breeding plumage but only one of the Horned Grebes as in breeding plumage. Further west, at Lakefront Promenade Park in Mississauga I also found two Pied-grebes in the lagoon adjacent to the Port Credit Yacht Club house bridge. The light was perfect, but in a tedious search of the lake to the horizon I located no loons.
Directions: Col. Sam Smith Park is located bottom of Kipling where it hits lakeshore; continue south and park at the very end of the road. Port Credit Yacht Club is located off Lakeshore Promenade which runs off Lakeshore about 4 blocks east of Cawtha (just east of Tim Hortons!).
