Hello Ontario birders. I just want to make sure you know the King Eiders are still being seen in the Port Huron/Sarnia area. See the following posts.
Good luck! David Stimac > Cathy Carroll, Julie Craves and I saw the 3 KING EIDERS with ease today, > Sunday, Nov 14, at approx 3:30pm. The water was fairly calm with good > lighting. The eiders would drift to the entry of the river then fly back to > the lake in front of the buoys and flow back down again. > > Also present were Red-necked Grebes, Long-tailed Ducks, and other divers. > > -- > Darrin O'Brien> > > ---------- > From: "Allen Chartier" > Date: Fri, 12 Nov 2004 13:44:25 -0500 > To: "MICH-LISTERS" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Update: King Eiders at Port Huron, St. Clair Co., 12 November 2004 > > Birders, > > As previously posted by Adam Byrne, Scott Jennex relocated the two King > Eiders at Port Huron at the south end of Lake Huron today, November 12.
