Hello Ontbirders.
Because the PINERY Parks Management has
removed a barrier put in place by the Park Naturalists to protect the
NATURE RESERVE that includes a section the Shore and Dunes that protects
several ENDANGERED SPECIES after a single complaint from a jogger, many
naturalists in Lambton are enquiring about ANY records of PIPING PLOVER,
PROTHONOTARY WARBLER, PRAIRIE WARBLER to see if we can get the decision
reversed, especially in the area of Picnic Area #9.
Other less mobile Endangered Species include the PITCHERS THISTLE,
DWARF HACKBERRY, OLYMPIA MARBLEWING Butterfly and HOGNOSE SNAKE. All of
which are identified in the Pinery Provincial Park Management Plan.
The Minister took Ten weeks to reply to our initial queries
while the managers cooked up their response!
No doubt I will be in
trouble for posting this, but two days ago my request to the compiler was
bounced.
Good Birding .(And Better Birding in the
Pinery).
Alf.
