The PURPLE GALLINULE at J. R. Park homestead in south Essex County was still
present today.
Rob Palin and I (and another couple) saw it about 09:00. We waited over an
hour until it showed, so extreme patience is required.
Just stand at the guardrail and look in southerly direction. Be careful of
auto traffic!
Location: John R. Park Homestead can found by searching Google Maps, and
is on County Rd 50 between Kingsville and Harrow in Essex County.
Park in the gravel parking lot up against a flower garden in front of the
homestead, walk to County
Rd 50 and turn right. There is a small bridge over the road, and the bird is
less
than 100m south of Rd50 (toward the lake).
Viewing is difficult through the thick phragmites and will require patience.
