Ontbirders
The Black-legged Kittiwake reported yesterday by Terry Sprague was still to
be found this afternoon among a large flock of Bonaparte's Gulls foraging
with mergansers in Athol Bay at the east end of Sandbanks Provincial Park.
Also in the neighbourhood were several adult Little Gulls and a first-winter
Glaucous Gull. I didn't see the Sabine's Gull reported yesterday by Terry
but could have missed it due to the rather challenging weather conditions.
To get to the viewing area, take County Rd. 12 south from Bloomfield to the
main gates of Sandbanks PP. Continue about 500m southwest along an extension
of County Rd. 12 to where it approaches the lake.
