Just following up on Mike's post for Tuesday. 6 King Eiders were in view
from Sayer's Park this morning, then disappeared. I re-stationed myself at
the north end of Green Road and found a tight bunch of 9 birds about 400 to
500 metres directly off shore. Interestingly, the ratio was different from
yesterday, with 4 1st alternate males and 5 females. This reveals that there
are more than 9 birds present in the area.
Directions : Take the Fruitland Road exit from the QEW and go north towards
the lake. Turn left on North Service Road, head west to Green Road and turn
right to the lake.

Subject: [Ontbirds]8 King Eider - Stoney Creek
Dear Fellow Birders,
Today I was out with some birders from Guelph to the Hamilton area and
the highlight for our day was 8 King Eiders off of Sayers Park in
Stoney Creek. They consisted of 6 imm. males and two females. A few
Surf Scoters were also present but visibility was declining when we
arrived.
Directions: Exit the QEW east of Hamilton at Centennial Parkway and
head north to North Service Rd. Turn right and follow it east to
Drakes Dr and turn left. Follow this to Lakegate Dr and turn right.
Sayers Park is at the end of the road.
