In case anyone was thinking of heading out looking for the King Eider, the male in full breeding plumage is still there.
I hadn't seen a report for a few days but my son and I decided to chance it this morning and took our bikes down to the Leslie St Spit to take a look for him. It didn't take long for us to find him in the middle of Cell 3 amongst lots of Scaup, Common and Red-breasted Mergansers, Canvasbacks and Long-tailed Ducks. Directions (from earlier reports) : Leslie Spit (aka Tommy Thompson Park) is at the foot of Leslie street south of Lakeshore Blvd in Toronto.
