Hello,
The Pacific Loon, reported on Lake Ontario off Fifty Point
Conservation Area yesteray, was still present this morning as of 11.30.
The bird was in the same general area as yesterday: about 200 metres
offshore best viewed from the large rock jetty on the eastern (right) side of
the boat canal leading from the marina into the lake.
Also, while I was there, I saw a small flock of seven Snow Buntings
and I flushed an immature Northern Goshawk when I ventured into the wooded area
beside the large parking lot..
Directions to Fifty Point C.A.:
From the Q.E.W. take Fifty Road north, towards the lake; this road takes
an immediate right after going over the highway and then go left. This road
takes you to the gate which is on your left. I didn't find the signage very
good.
P.S.
There is a $5 admission fee --a small price to pay for such a good bird!!
Regards,
Brendan O'Sullivan

Hello,
The Pacific Loon, reported yesterday on Lake Ontario off Fifty Point C.A.,
was still present this morning as of 11.30.
The bird was in the same genereal area as yesterday: -about 200m offshore,
best viewed from the large stone jetty on the eastern (right) side of the
boat canal leading out into the lake from the marina.
Also, while I was there, I saw a flock of seven Snow Buntings in the
parking lot and I flushed an immature Northern Goshawk when I ventured a
little into the woods beside the parking lot.
Directions to Fifty Point C.A.:
From the Q.E.W. take Fifty Road north towards the lake and follow the
signs to the Conservation Area.
P.S.
There is a $5 admission fee--a small price to pay for such a good bird !
