I did a quick walk to Bronte Harbour after work today (5PM) and was able to locate four King Eiders in the scaup raft offshore. There were two young males with orange bills and two females. When I was there a telescope was very useful for seeing them but on other occasions they have been quite close to shore.
Directions: Exit the QEW at Bronte Road (Oakville) and go south to the lake and walk out on the pier. The area is also served by Oakville Transit routes 2 and 14 from the Bronte and Oakville GO stations respectively.
