Newcastle Harlequin

I was able to visit Bond Head in Newcastle first thing this morning and luckily the Harlequin duck that was seen there earlier this week was still around. This is an area that I make a point of checking for birds quite often as there are many varieties of habitats here right on lake Ontario. It was a beautiful morning to watch this rare duck so close to shore. The duck was diving quite often to avoid waves and to feed but did pose nicely on a rock for me for a little while.
