I scoped the lake from the Leslie St Spit to Victoria Park Ave for several hours today and did not see the Western Grebe. None of the several bird groups, that I met, had seen it either. Never-the-less, the bird could still be about (it is a big lake).
I did see a flock of 8 White-winged Crossbills. They have been feeding around the evergreens and Alders southeast of the bathrooms for over a week. They spend much time on the ground checking every fallen cone. They were too close to digiscope today. Good luck, Directions: Ashbridges Bay/Woodbine Beach Park is at the base of Coxwell Ave. East of the DVP & Leslie St. Spit and south of Lakeshore Blvd. Eleanor Beagan OFO Vice President etbea...@sympatico.ca www.ofo.ca <http://www.ofo.ca/> o...@ofo.ca _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
