Greetings all,
The Red-necked Phalarope was still at Owen Point this morning,
feeding along the edge of the algae and water. Also present was a
Whimbrel, a juv. Western Sandpiper, half a dozen Baird's (juv) and
White-rumps (adults) and lots of the usual suspects up close allowing
for great viewing. At least two imm. Merlins were giving them some
grief.
Cheers,
Doug McRae
Directions: Presqu'ile is located on the north shore of Lake
Ontario, south of Brighton. Take Hwy 30 from the 401 and follow
south into town then follow the park signs. Owen Pt. is the southern
most tip of the beach.
