Scoping the waterfowl from the waterfowl from he eastern headland.

Scopes are for kids too!

We found one distant Horned Grebe off the south shore of Humber Bay East. The plumage was similar to the individual on the left. These birds were photographed at Sam Smith Park the following morning.

These two Horned Grebes (also photographed the following morning at Sam Smith) show the variability in plumage to be expected at this time of year.

The large numbers of ducks, particularly scaup that we normally expect to find at Humber Bay in March weren’t there for our walk. There were a few Greater Scaup, but they were well out from shore. (These Greater Scaup were photographed at Sam Smith the following morning).
