Title: TOC outing - Humber Bay Park, Colonel Sam, etc
Post by: AlvanBuckley on March 05, 2011, 06:53:28 PM
Hi everyone,

I joined a small group of 7 hardy birders today to bird along the lake. The original plan was to go as far as Burlington but we succumbed to the dreary weather and returned to warm homes earlier than expected.

Nothing very unusual but nonetheless we were happy to see:

Humber Bay Park
5 Ruddy Ducks
3 Canvasback
10 Gadwall
1 Horned Grebe
2 White-winged Scoter
2 Hooded Mergansers
2 Trumpeter Swans
2 Song Sparrows singing
1 Red-winged Blackbird singing very enthusiastically.

Colonel Sam
1 Northern Shrike singing

Lakeshore Promenade
1 American Wigeon
15 Gadwall

good birding,
-Alvan
