An unsuccessful effort this morning for the Black-tailed Gull at Port Burwell. There were very few gulls at the East Beach and even fewer at the Day Use beach. We observed the small flocks of gulls exhibiting a similar behavior as Garth Riley mentioned in his previous post, heading north up the river. It may be worth a try later in the day before they roost. Alan Wormington, Stu Mackenzie and I did however turn up an Eared Grebe with some Horneds about 300m off the Day Use beach.
Yousif Attia, Long Point Directions: From Hwy 401 take exit 218 on to county road 19, follow it south through Tillsonburg and keep going to the end. Port Burwell and the beach are located at the end of this road. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
