[Ontbirds]Gannet at Cobourg Nov.22

[M. Bain]

Cobourg's gannet, unfazed by freezing rain and ice pellets, is still diving
off the west headland of the harbour this morning among at least 1000
Red-breasted Mergansers.
Reports come from birders lucky enough to have ringside seats in their
harbourside condos.

Directions: Exit Hwy.401 at Division Street, the eastern Cobourg exit [#474]
and turn south. Continue south through the town where Division ends in the
main pier of the harbour. Go west around the harbour to the large parking
lot on the west side and walk out on the grassy west headland.
