This morning I "refound" the previously reported Harlequin off Thickson's Point. It was about 75 meters off shore and about 150 meters west of the point associating with about 40 Goldeneyes. It flew in with them from the west. I met someone else there that had just seen one a bit earlier at the mouth of Lynde Creek also with Goldeneyes..... possibly the same bird.
In the Meadow at Thickson's, there was a Northern Mockingbird feeding on the ground quite undisturbed despite the fact that I was within 6 feet of it !!! Thickson's Point, Meadow, Woods are at the foot of Thickson's Road, south of the exit off 401 in Whitby. Good birding....
