Hi All, I was able to head to Col Sam Smith Park at lunchtime today and while standing out at the south east tip (where the lighthouse used to be), I saw 2 COMMON LOONS, one was only 20m off shore the other was about 150m away, to the east. Haven't seen any reports of these lately and thought the winter listers may have missed them in December? Also, just offshore was a WHITE-WINGED SCOTER. I did not find the Snowy Owl but did not walk all the way out to the western end of the park. Good Birding, Frank Pinilla Richmond Hill, ON DIRECTIONS: Colonel Samuel Smith Park is at the south end of Kipling Avenue in Etobicoke, exit Kipling Avenue south from the Gardiner Expressway west of Toronto. Continue south through the lights at Lakeshore Blvd and follow the road all the way to the end, you can park in the last parking lot and walk out to view the lake. _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com "Frank Pinilla" <frankpinilla@hotmail.com>
