At 5:20 Am I relocated this bird at the distance of my scope, east of the pier.
However it has flown closer to the pier and is now resting and preening in excellent light. I got some video even.Still on east side but goes under the pier too. Not hanging with Long tailed ducks also here
What a bird Mark Jennings!
Take the QEW Toronto and exit Burloak Drive. Take Burloak to souther terminus at Lakeshore and turn left . On your right is south shell park. Gates are closed now but will open soon. So for now park on side street. Bird is hanging out at pier mostly but does drift about

Yes
Joanne,
The
Common Eider did reappear on the west (right) side of the pier. It swam
back to the tip, spent much time right under that end of the pier. The
setting sun showed up the eider well, so that its shape & colour was
nicely visible. However a scope was needed.
Thank
you Mark for returning to help me locate this (un) Common Eider.
The question remains: How long has this bird been here? How long will it
remain?

The Common Eider reappeared briefly at the end of the pier (right side)
and then disappeared back to the left. We did not see it when we went
back to the left side of the pier but it must still be there behind the
pier.
