Hi Moira .. thanks for letting me know. Am hoping to go to High Park to find him. Where in relation to BLoor/Keele is he located?
Thanks ...Sue

He is at the north end of Grenadier Pond (so close to Bloor).  The pond is completely frozen, but continue to walk north and there is a small creek of open water.  It is close to Bloor and Wendigo Way.  If you are visiting High Park, you can park at/near the restaurant and walk down to the Pond and continue walking north on the path until you hit open water.  There is a very small bridge over the water and that's where you will see lots of mallards, the wood duck and the northern pintail.  I drove in from the Lakeshore and came north on Ellis.  Good luck!
