The Eurasian Wigeon which was seen last week by Maris Apse is still around the area. It has moved farther south from the location where Maris reported seeing it. I saw this bird this afternoon around 2:00pm, at Eidt's Grove on Saugeen Beach Rd. in front of cottage with Fire #70. It was in the company of a couple of Goldeneye. The Scaup were still around near the previous location.
Directions Travel south on Hwy #21 from Port Elgin, turn right on the 4th Conc. of Saugeen and travel west towards the lake. At the stop sign at Lake Range Rd., keep going towards the lake and take the first right, which is Saugeen Beach Rd. Travel north until you reach the cottage and scan the lake. It was close to shore just of the edge of the ice and snow.
