A great day at Sam's! Counted at least 40 Red-necked Grebes, scattered between the marina and the lake side - I've never seen more than two together! No sign of the Shrike today or the Blue-winged Teal (seen earlier this week). To your list I will add:
Golden-crowned Kinglets
Killdeer (several near the skating rink)
Brown Creeper
Horned Grebe (8 in winter plumage, near entrance to marina)
Tree Sparrow
Brown-headed Cowbird
Cardinals
Common Loon (winter plumage, on the lake side)
At Humber, I will add:
White-winged Scoter
Green-winged Teal (3 pair)

Where at the humber is the scoter being seen?
I've gone a couple times this week with no luck.

Yesterday I saw a male WW Scoter at Humber East, not far from the usual raft of Ruddy Ducks (North of the memorial, East of the little bridge). Last week I saw a female in that first little bay with the green raft. During the GBBC in February I counted 17 at LaSalle Marina in Burlington! Haven't been back since though to know if they're still around.

To the list of birs presented by American Redstart, I could add 1 Tundra Swan, which solitary came to visit our nice Lake.

Thank you for the scoter reply.
I will look closer in the area you saw it.
