Hi All: Western Grebe ( April 27th between 7:00 pm and 7:30 pm) was feeding at the mouth of the Credit River, Port Credit (Mississauga) It was between the "anchored" Ship and the river mouth. There was no other Grebes around, only LT Ducks & mute Swans. Best seen from the east end of the Credit Harbour. I took videos of the bird.
Mingled with the Riverwood Bird walk and drenched by heavy rains, I persisted with some birwatching this Wednesday afternoon.
