It seems to happen slowly, but the slow and steady increase in rarities has begun for Ontario:

Eurasian Wigeon in Waterloo:

Western Grebe:

(same bird visiting this end of Lake Ontario for the past 3-4 years?!)

--- the wagtail

--- Swainson's Hawks near Grimsby (ON) and Conneaut (OH)

--- Yellow-headed Blackbird near Port Burwell

There is also apparently an American White Pelican (photographed Apr 8) in the Brantford Newspaper! Not (yet?) seen by any "serious" birders (if I can use the term)... Although maybe the bird seen in St. Catherines a few days earlier.
