At 5:20 Am I relocated this bird at the distance of my scope, east of the pier. However it has flown closer to the pier and is now resting and preening in excellent light. I got some video even.Still on east side but goes under the pier too. Not hanging with Long tailed ducks also here What a bird Mark Jennings! Take the QEW Toronto and exit Burloak Drive. Take Burloak to souther terminus at Lakeshore and turn left . On your right is south shell park. Gates are closed now but will open soon. So for now park on side street. Bird is hanging out at pier mostly but does drift about Len Manning

It swam back to the tip, spent much time right under that end of the pier. The setting sun showed up the eider well, so that its shape & colour was nicely visible. However a scope was needed. Thank you Mark for returning to help me locate this (un) Common Eider. The question remains: How long has this bird been here? How long will it remain?

We did not see it when we went back to the left side of the pier but it must still be there behind the pier.
