Terrie Smith and I followed the trail left by others and found 12 Bohemian Waxwings in Palgrave at 14 Birch St. feeding on juniper berries in the front yard. We then headed south on Hwy 50 and at #14684 and #14865 Hwy 50 found a farmer spreading fresh manure on both sides of the road .. 300+ Snow Buntings and 4 Horned Larks enjoyed the feast. I suspect that in a couple of days, one might look for Longspurs here as well, although we couldn't find any today.
At Port Credit, the Harlequins (male + 2 females) were well offshore to the west of the gazebo (foot of Hurontario St.) near the south edge of the rocky peninsula which is visible from the gazebo. One Yellow-rumped Warbler frolicked on the shore east of the gazebo and the Pied-billed Grebe was easily found with the Trumpeter Swans at the mouth of the Credit River.
