The Western Grebe is still present off of Midland Bay Landing Park (288 Bayshore Drive). It was swimming between 50-75 meters offshore of the park and occasionally diving but not straying far.
It did start to slowly drift eastward before I left so checking the Harbour may not be a bad idea either.
288 Bayshore Drive can be reached by exiting North off of Highway 12 onto Willian Street in Midland and following it until you reach the park.
Directions as per Burke's previous post for the Harbour.
The harbour is on the north side of the intersection of King St. and Bayshore Drive in Midland, Simcoe County on the Georgian Bay coast. There is free parking at the Park and harbour.
Cheers and good birding,
