An Immature N. Gannet has been visiting feeding flocks of loons, Red-
breasted Mergansers and gulls on the east side of the main pier in
Cobourg. The flocks come and go, and so does the gannet. I understand
it was first seen 9.00-9.30 am, and last appeared about 12.30, when
we saw it from the window. By the time we got down the pier it was
gone, so it's probably a matter of sitting and waiting. To ease the
wait there's a Red-necked Grebe with the loons, and a coot and a
couple of Cackling Geese in the harbour itself, in with the flocks of
Canadas.
Directions: Exit #401 at the eastern Cobourg exit [#474] and turn
south off the exit ramp. This is Division Street. Continue south
through town and Division ends in the main pier of the harbour, with
excellent views of the area.
