Hey Denis,
I was at Humber Bay East this afternoon. Missed you. I saw 4 or 5 American Widgeons but no Harlequins.

hey vince.
i forgot to mention,there were also american widgeons there. the harlies move around quite a bit,and it,s hard to pinpoint their exact location,from day to day.

Saw the harlequins at Humber Bay East today, around 4pm. Same spot south beach, close to shore. Beautiful. No ruddy duck or grebes. Very windy out there and the water was quite choppy. More birds seen on west side near the gazebo, many long tails, a few redheads, bufflehead and red breasted mergansers, gadwalls and a pair of A. Widgeon. This morning saw a pair of northern shovelers in High Park. And the coyote was out on the ice.
