Ontbirders, The Arctic Tern that has been present at Coburg Harbour for several days was not seen this morning but is present this afternoon.
The bird was standing on the east pier with Caspian and Common Terns but, as we watched, was chased away by one of the Common Terns. The harbour is very busy with beach goers and boat traffic. Note - viewing must be done from the west side due to carnival rides on the east pier. Good luck, Barb Charlton ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "michael ferguson" <fergm...@gmail.com> Date: Jun 28, 2016 3:21 PM Subject: [Ontbirds] Arctic Tern - Cobourg harbour To: "Birdalert" <birdalert@ontbirds.ca> Cc: At about 11 AM today Tim Logan and I bumped into an Arctic Tern at Cobourg > harbour on the east breakwater perched near a Common Tern.
