I refound the first-winter male King Eider at 10am this morning, Monday January 12. It is still where it was last seen yesterday, off the Plastics factory at the foot of Normar Road at the east end of Cobourg. It was again by itself, about 100 metres out on the lake, so a scope is fairly essential.
Directions: Go south from Hwy.401 at Division Street, Cobourg, Exit 474, to Hwy.2, King Street. Go east on King St. about 5km then turn south onto Normar Rd. just before the railway bridge. Follow Normar to where it ends in a huge pile of snow. Walk round the snowpile to the clifftop and look southeast.
