Greetings all,
The Marbled Godwit found by Fred Helleiner yesterday at Presqu'ile
was still present this morning at 0800h. It was feeding on the
natural (south) beach between viewing areas 2 and 3. Very few other
shorebirds were present: Killdeer 4, Spotted S/p 4, Lesser Yellowlegs
1u, 1j, 1 ad Pectoral. There was also a female Long-tailed Duck in
close to shore off from the causeway dividing High Bluff from Pines
campground. At Owen Pt. there were a number of Yellow warblers which
might be migrants, as well as a Northern Waterthrush.
Directions: Presqu'ile is best reached by taking the Brighton exit
from Hwy. 401, then heading south into the town. From there follow
the Provincial Park signs.
Cheers,
Doug McRae
