Ontbirders This morning there were two Purple Sandpipers on Sebastopol Island (formerly a part of Gull Island). The birds could usually be seen by scope looking north from the west end of Gull Island. There was also a Snowy Owl on Gull and then nearby High Bluff Island. A good mix of shorebirds is still frequenting the area. Because of the Presqu'ile duck hunt, access to Gull Island for non-hunters is limited to Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. The way to Presqu'ile Provincial Park is well-marked south of Brighton.
