The first-winter King Eider was back in Cobourg harbour this afternoon, Tuesday March 1, at least from 2.30-4pm, resting on the ice-covered rocks on the harbour side of the south breakwater, about halfway between the small harbour light and the western edge of the harbour. Amazing that the harbour is frozen over again when it was completely open yesterday! Still several hundred gulls on the ice including several Iceland and Glaucous.
Directions: Take Exit 474 from Hwy.401, south on Division Street to the harbour, drive around to the large west parkinglot.
