[Ontbirds] Adult Gannet - Sam Smith Park, Toronto

2013-10-07 Thread David Pryor
I just had an adult gannet off the whimbrel watch point at Col. Sam Smith Park 
in Etobicoke. 

It was approx. 200m offshore and trying to fly west against extremely strong 
westerly winds.  It did not get much more than about 5-10m above the water. 
Birders west of Etobicoke should keep an eye out for it.

The adult gannet has returned and has landed on the water approx. 300m 
offshore. Several loons are also nearby
