Hello everyone, Today I was finally able to see the male Harlequin Duck that has been in Barrie for the last week. It appears to be a first winter male as it's plumage is on the dull side and he was giving great views right along the shoreline just down from the South Shore Center. I also spotted my second lifer of the day in a female King Eider, not a species I'm expecting to see in Barrie ;-) The Harlequin was being seen in the same area right up until dusk; neither Peter Mills(thanks for the ID confirmation) or I could relocate the Eider. Photos to come at pwtphotography.com Directions: As if coming from Toronto - Exit off Hwy 400 on Essa Rd, turn right on Essa and follow until merge with Tiffin ST continue to Lakeshore Dr, turn right then shortly after turn left at The South Shore Center and park.
