October 23, 2003 The Eared Grebe was seen by several observers all yesterday off Lucas Point Park in Cobourg and was found again this morning, but it is now much farther out from shore, a bit east of yesterday's location, and hard to see in the choppy water, especially in the freezing windchill of the clifftop today. Several observers did finally see it but all agreed that views could have been better!
To reach Lucas Point Park, exit Hwy.401 at Division Street, Exit 474, and drive down Division to one block north of the harbour. Turn left at the lights on King Street and drive east just less than 2km, past two more sets of lights, to turn south on Willmott Street, where the houses end. This street runs south to the lake then turns east with industry north of it and the park to the south. After 200metres or so there is a small parking lot on the south side with a walkway to the cliff edge which gives good views of the lake.
