Eurasian Wigeon-1
Saturday, December 1
Thickson's Point
Whitby, Ontario

The long staying Eurasian Wigeon was seen today on Lake Ontario
just west of Thickson's Point. It is hanging out with a flock of Gadwall
and American Wigeon's.

Directions:
To reach Thickson Point, take Hwy 401 to exit 412 (Thickson Rd.), exit south 
onto Thickson Rd. S.

and proceed south about 2 km. to the cul-de-sac at its southern terminus.
Take the Waterfront Trail west from near the foot of
Thickson Rd. and walk west until you see the Thickson Point interpretive 
signage.
Follow the numerous narrow trails to the lake and then west to the first 
point of the land jutting out into the lake.

A male Eurasian Wigeon is currently being seen from the south platform of
cranberry marsh on Halls Road South, Whitby.  While scope isn’t absolutely
necessary it is recommended. Bird is swimming in and out of the weeds to
the north of the platform.

The bird is currently being seen from the north platform of Cranberry
Marsh. Scope is definitely required. Most of the open water is frozen, it’s
hanging around with a group Canada geese. Patience is required.

Cranberry Marsh is in Halls Road south, Whitby.
