A few more notes on the location:
To get to Port Weller, take the Niagara Street/Regional Road 48 exit from the QEW in St Catharines, and drive north towards Lake Ontario. Stay on Niagara Street for 5 km, then turn right onto Lakeshore Road. Drive over the Welland Canal and take your second left onto Seaway Haulage Road, approx 500 m after crossing over the canal. Follow Seaway Haulage road north towards the lake. it will turn into Broadway, follow Broadway to the end and park in the little parking lot at the terminus of Broadway at Lake Ontario. Follow the path towards the end of the pier. I have posted on my blog a few Google Earth screenshots showing the location of the bird (http://joshvandermeulen.blogspot.ca/2016/08/lark-sparrow-at-port-weller-niagara.html). Good birding, Josh Vandermeulen ________________________________ From: ONTBIRDS <[email protected]> on behalf of Josh Vandermeulen <[email protected]> Sent: August 15, 2016 6:52 PM To: ontbirds Subject: [Ontbirds] Lark Sparrow - Port Weller east pier Laura Bond and I just found a Lark Sparrow at the very end of the Port Weller east pier. It is at the mouth of the Welland Canal, on the concrete section beyond the fence. I'll post later tonight with better directions.
