An adult male HARLEQUIN DUCK was observed 28 January (Tuesday) and again today (31 January) at Pt. Petre in Prince Edward County. The bird was with large flocks of oldsquaw (LONG-TAILED DUCK) during both sightings.
To reach Pt. Petre head towards Cherry Valley (Route 10) out of Picton then follow Route 24 to the end which is Pt. Petre. A right-of way to the shore is available between the light house property (right) and the Department of Defense radio towers (left). The HARLEQUIN was observed on 28 January directly in front of the light house and on 31 January farther east along the shore within Soup Harbour. The ICE BANKS can be dangerous this time of year so if you go it is best to remain on the rocks or gravel beaches. The VARIED THRUSH is still making daily appearances at 383 Prinyer's Cove Crescent.
