At around noon today four of us saw the gannet flying East several hundred yards off shore. We were on the West pier at the harbour. It flew across the harbour mouth and then low over the water in an ESE direction. We left immediately after, so it may have returned.
David and Barbara Selley Directions: Exit #401 at the eastern Cobourg exit [#474] and turn south off the exit ramp. This is Division Street. Continue south through town and Division ends in the main pier of the harbour. To get to the West pier turn right along the waterfront past the front of the new condos and park in a lot by the entrance to a sailing club. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
