Still present as of 10:40AM. Enjoyed by many, just east off of the shore of
the southernmost point mixed in with mergansers and gulls and coming
relatively close at times.

Directions as in previous posts. From Gardiner Expressway take Park Lawn
south, turn right at Lakeshore, then left into the entrance to Humber Bay
West. Drive as far down as you can and park in very last lot, walk out to
end of point.

The Common Eider is still present, though it has flown to the other side of the tip of the dog park portion of Humber Bay West Park (this is the farthest southwest corner of the park), where it appeared to have landed to resume feeding with a loose flock of Red-breasted Mergansers and Long-Tailed Ducks. See the forwarded email below for Nicole's great directions.

Good birding!!

(I swear this is one of our only team bird chases this year!!)
