Hi Ontbirders This morning, just before the front arrived (1130), Bruce Di Labio, Diane Whitman and I birded the beach and Owen Pt. area. The best bird was a Purple Sandpiper that flew in with several White-rumps, circled the east end of Gull Island then flew out to Sebastopol Pt. and landed there.

Tundra Swan 550 Gw Teal - high number - part of a big group of geese and puddle ducks off Beach 2-4 18 Black Scoter 2 Rough-legged Hawk - one of each morph on Gull Is. 2 Black-b Plover 52 Dunlin 9 White-rumped S/p 42 Horned Lark - several flocks all passing SE 76 Snow Buntings Cheers, Doug McRae Directions: Exit Hwy. 401 at the Brighton exit and follow south into town. From there follow the Park signs to Presqu'ile.
