On Saturday, February 10th, Glenn Coady led a bird walk at Humber Bay Park East. It was cold and breezy, but the sun came out to make it seem a bit warmer.
We found a total of 22 bird species, mainly waterfowl. That included thousands of Greater Scaup, with a few Lesser Scaup mixed in, as well as all three species of Merganser. Most waterfowl were staying close to shore or islands to shelter from the wind. We couldn’t find the Harlequin Duck that has been frequenting the area, but we found lots of other birders looking for it (unsuccessfully as well).
The best birds were a couple of Ruddy Ducks, uncommon in winter, and a “write in” on our checklist.
