Thanks to all of you on OntBirds who responded to my request about recent
sightings of the King Eider in the Welland Canal, with special thanks to
Kayo Roy for "guiding me in" and his up-to-the-moment information from
"Brian" who I ran into when I got there. I did see the King Eider, not
close, but pretty good scope looks....most non-birders on the trail were not
impressed, just wanted to know where the "Snowy White Owl" was. I wanted to
say "Probably in the fluff and dry cycle" but I knew my sarcastic humor
would probably be lost on them and I'm sure I would be the only one enjoying
that. So I enjoyed my bird and thanks again to all of you who took the time
to help me out. Only thing of note on my way home was a huge raft of 1,000s
of Canvasbacks on the upper Niagara River at the "Waterfowl Viewing Area" on
the Robert Moses Parkway between Niagara Falls, USA and the Grand Island
Bridge.
