We stopped off at Canal Park for an hour on Monday 15th December and returned on Tuesday 16th. On Tuesday we also drove across the lift bridge to the airport at the end of Park Point.
Our target bird was a female Common Eider that had been seen in the harbor area on and off for a couple of weeks. A female Harlequin Duck had also been spotted a few days prior to our visit. But we had no luck with either bird - in fact the eider moved to the Superior side of the lake. Other than the resident Mallards and gulls the only thing seen at Canal Park was a single American Black Duck.

Our drive to the end of Park Point on Tuesday did not prove completely fruitless as we lucked upon a flock of about 20 Snow Buntings.
