nice day to bird at Humber Bay East.
i went there expecting nothing and saw the mockingbird and some American wigeons. otherwise, not a lot of birds (we have better results at our backyard feeder)
sadly, not a lot of the wigeon pictures turned out (camera didn't want to focus properly). but this guy was a cutie.

Nice!  Nice movement of the water, too.

Good spotting! Never leave your bins at home.

I was lucky enough to get fairly up close and personal with a long-tailed duck yesterday at Humber Bay.  He was right down by the shore and I was walking where not many people walk and there he was but he swam off pretty quickly.  Beautiful.

I thought I saw some RedHeads.  Was pretty sure, did anyone else seem them?

I don't know how to post here but the link to my flickr photos is below and my photos of the long-tailed is there.

Thanks.

i saw the long-tailed duck as well. was sitting on a log in the pond across from the butterfly garden. was too far to get a picture and was kind of squatting.

what do you mean by red heads? saw some female mergansers, if that's what you mean.
