Title: Waterfront Trail - CCIW
Post by: katrae on April 29, 2018, 07:33:34 PM

Hello Fellow Birders!

What a beautiful weekend for birding!!  Today we went down by the Canada Center for Inland Waters along the Waterfront Trail and I was wondering if I could get a little help with a couple of ID's please :)  

I have narrowed this one down to a Grebe, but can't make a final ID:

These two little cuties were quite a distance away:

Another of the pair with their wings flapping:

Not sure if this is one like the ones above or a different one:

Ducks are Gadwalls and the last one is a common Loon
