Greetings! Even though yesterday was grey and rainy it was a nice time to be out. We went first to Tiny Marsh and saw many Black Terns feeding in the lilies. There was a lot of birdsong, warblers, a Least Bittern (I think), and many sparrows.
At Wasaga Beach the original story was that the Piping Plovers had left but not so: we saw three of them. One on the next (behind the fence) and two on the beach. They report 4 eggs and 5 birds. Tiny Marsh is north west of Elmvale, take road 6 north of Elmvale and your second left (there is a sign). The parking lot is about a kilometer or so further on. Walk along the dike to see the terns. At Wasaga the Piping Plovers are at Beach 1 behind a fence. The volunteers are very helpful.
