Toronto Wildlife Centre (TWC) came to the rescue of the fish hooked Red-necked Grebe at Bronte Harbour today. The whole operation took almost three hours. Fortunately the barb was accessible and could be easily cut off. She seemed to behave normally after being returned to the water. I posted a few photos to Flickr:

They rely on donations: hint, hint. www.torontowildlifecentre.com Current status: The remaining two eggs disappeared sometime before 6:30 this morning. There are two chicks. Directions: Exit the QEW at Bronte Road (Oakville) and go to the lake the turn left (only possibility) and park past the large banquet hall on the right. The birds are close to shore.
