The KING EIDER reported on Saturday was in the same location along the Lake Erie shore between Hillman Marsh and Point Pelee at 4:00 p.m. today, Sunday, February 6th. The best spot to view the bird is the lookout over the lake that is "exactly 0.5 km S of Concession Road B" as noted by Alan Wormington in his post. It is in amongst a flock of hundreds of Common Goldeneye, but easily identifiable by the orange bill.

This message was sent earlier but did not get through, please excuse the repeat if you have already received it. For a second day in a row a male Pine Warbler has been seen at the extreme east end of the pipline in Shell Park. This bird has been present but extremely elusive since December and just reported again yesterday. If you start your trek at the garden allotments and walk north along the pipline area, it then jogs to the east (right). Take the right turn and continue east to the corner at which it turns north again. The bird was in this corner high in the tree at one point but also feeding off the ground as well. Directions to Shell Park Shell Park is located on Lakeshore Road between Bronte Road and Burloak Drive in Oakville. Its easiest to park on the east parking lot as you enter the park and then look for the yellow bridge to the east where the garden allotments are. There is a large swath of open trail leading from these allotments. Cheers, Cheryl Edgecombe [EMAIL PROTECTED]
