Observation details

Original observer: Ron Poulton. First record for Muskoka. Source: Al Sinclair pers. comm. 2014, 2015. Muskoka’s first record comes from the last week of August 2002 (August 25 entered as date, although exact date unknown). Ron Poulton noticed a very small bird amongst the reeds at the north end of Bonnie Lake. He was struck by its small size and its ability to easily hide. He took a photo of the bird and later passed the photo along to the local MNR office for identification assistance (McDonnell pers. comm. 2002). It was identified as an adult Eared Grebe, its blackish head and neck, brownish flanks, and thin golden tufts clearly visible. This bird was one of six reported in the province during the period August – November 2002 (Bain 2003).
