Warbler Migration, Piping Plover and Western Grebe

Warbler migration is in full effect. There is a benefit to posting the sightings of warblers here but be warned...many of these birds are on the move and may not stay in one place for long. That said, it was interesting to hear about Yellow-Throated Warblers have been spotted at several different sites in the GTA, including Rattray Marsh, Mississauga and Col Sam Smith Park in Toronto.
A Piping Plover was spotted along the beach at Darlington Provincial Park and was still there this morning. Hopefully, it will stay around for the weekend.
Also of interest, a Western Grebe has been seen at the Port Credit Harbour. There was a Western Grebe seen at Col. Sam Smith Park earlier in the spring. Could it be the same bird ? Advice from ONTBirds postings is to bring a scope.

Check ONTbirds for more information on these sightings.

Good Luck !
