Just a heads up for those interested.  The Barrow's Goldeneye and one of the Harlequin Ducks were seen today.  It took me a few hours of scanning, but was able to get horrible pics (darn wind, high waves and cold numb fingers).  Scope was needed and viewing from the Mouth of the Lynde creek was a lot better for viewing (Thanks to Jeremy Logan and Neil for their help and guidance).

From the 401 exit #410 on Brock Street South highway #46, take that to Victoria and go West (right), then turn South (left) on Gordon street.  See ebird reports for exact location.
