The male Eurasian Wigeon discovered earlier today by Garth Riley continues to be present at Tommy Thompson Park (aka the Leslie Street Spit).
Speaking with other birders present, the bird has been periodically seen all day since its discovery this morning. It is frequenting the outer mouth of the marina harbour. Walk about 5 minutes past the enclosed gatehouse to the "Speed Bump" sign. Just past the sign there is a snow-covered path/road leading west towards the water. Walk the path/road to the end and scan. When I left it, the bird was about 150-200m offshore in the company of a large flock of mixed waterfowl (mostly Redhead and Scaup). Tommy Thompson Park is located at the base of Leslie Street in Toronto.
