Hi Everyone
Yesterday, September 24th birded Presqu'ile Provincial Park. Overall
very windy but we managed to see the Whimbrel on Gull Island which has been
present for a week or so. Shorebird numbers were low with 10 species
including 6 American Golden Plover between Owen Poit and Beach #3. Other
species of note included 1 juv. Bald Eagle and 2 Common Ravens both near the
Lighthouse.
On our return home we made a brief stop at the Amherstview Sewage Lagoon
and observed 1 Hudsonian Godwit and 1 Stilt Sandpiper.
good birding, Bruce
Directions: Presqu'ile is best reached by taking Cty Rd. 30 south from
Hwy 401 through the town of Brighton. Once in town, follow the
Provincial Park signs.
Directions: Amerstview Sewage Lagoon: From Hwy. 401 take exit 593 (County
Road 4, Camden East) south ( 8.5 km) on County Road 4 to Taylor-Kidd Blvd.
Turn left (east) and follow Taylor-Kidd Blvd. (6.5 km) to County Road 6.
Continue east on Taylor-Kidd (.8 km), and watch for a lane on your right
after crossing railway overpass. This is the
entrance to the lagoon. If you're coming from Amherst Island, turn right
onto highway 33 and then left on county Road 4. Continue north (1.5 km) and
turn right (east) onto Taylor-Kidd Blvd.
