At 11:30 am I found a male and female Harlequin Duck actively feeding among a small group of Buffleheads off the second concrete jetty just west of Saddington Park (this is part of the waterfront trail). They were quite close to shore and easily seen through binoculars. This pair no doubt the one I found about two weeks ago at the same location and hopefully they will stick around for the CBC next saturday!
Directions: The west parking lot of Saddington Park can be access directly from the southern extension of Mississauga Road south of Lakeshore. Follow the chain-link fence south onto the trail which follows the south side of the lake. The jetty is only about 150 meters further west.
