Ducks Gone

[moratorian]

Took a walk along Lake Ontario from one end of Port Credit (Hiawatha Park) to the other (J.C Saddington) today (Sun. March 23) Almost all the Scaups, Goldeneyes and Buffleheads have left the area. The only ducks still here in any numbers are the Long-tails.

Also observed a male and female American Kestrel in J.C.

I think they headed east to Humber Bay Park as I spotted all of the species you mentioned plus, finally, the Harlequin Duck (male and female). I've made a lot of trips down to the park this winter and last to see if I could spot the elusive (to me, anyway) Harlequin Duck and today I was rewarded. Also seen and heard were several Red Wings and a resident male Kestrel allowed me to get fairly close for a photo-op. It was great to see many birders and so many others enjoying a beautiful, sunny day at the lakefront.
