In the 10:00 hour today, the King Eider was quite mobile along the east
side of the pier, in nice shelter from the nw wind. It ranged from the
first trail to the lake all the way out to the point!
Directions: From QEW St. Catharine take the Niagara St. exit going north
(toward the Lake) road 48. Right on Lakeshore (87) and cross the Bridge.
Take first legal left , then first left again, then first right: short
jog and go left into the canal/marina road. Park at the end of this
drive lot. and go toward the lake through the fence gate. Make your
first right onto the path going east just at the end of the fenced in
east marina and follow the paths to view the bay area. This path goes
all the way north to the end of the jetty. You may want to bring a scope
but today the adult King Eider was mostly close to shore with the motley
groups of mixed ducks.
Happy New year!
