Greetings Ontbirders,
The immature male King Eider was still in Cobourg Harbour at 230 this
afternoon. It was feeding along the edge of the eastern seawall and
appeared to be picking objects (Zebra mussels?) directly off the
cement pier from just above the water line. There were two dull White-
winged Scoters in the same area, along with the usual suspects. I
also noted 2 ad. Glaucous Gull and 1 ad Iceland Gull among the 500 or
so Herrings and Ring-bills on the ice.
Cheers,
Doug McRae
Directions: From Hwy 401, take exit #474 - Division St. (the eastern-
most of the two Cobourg exits) and go south on Division St. to the
Lake, which brings you to the eastern edge of the harbour.
