Greetings! I was unable to re-find the Harlequin today but on a positive note the ducks at Humber Bay West are ranging closer to shore. There were some lovely Red Breasted Mergansers, Buffleheads, and a Red Necked Grebe.
At Humber Bay East, where they race the RC boats, there are about a dozen Hooded Mergansers: the males are doing their courting dances (AFAIK) with their heads extended bobbing back and forth. Last year there were many ducks at Humber Bay West and hopefully it is the same this year! Both Humber Bays, East and West, are at the intersection of Lakeshore Blvd and Parklawn road. Turn right for the West and go straight for the east. Before that: exit off the Gardiner at Parklawn.
