Today we saw 37 juvenile Baird's Sandpipers at Owen Point in Presqu'ile Provincial Park on Lake Ontario. The highest count for Presqu'ile on eBird is 31 on 23 August 1995. Juvenile Baird's Sandpipers should be found in most flocks of peep sandpipers seen this weekend in southern Ontario.
Directions: Presqu'ile Provincial Park is just south of the town of Brighton. Exit Highway 401 at Brighton and follow the signs to the park. Entry fee. There's a map in the tabloid paper available at the Park entrance. Follow trail about 1 km to the tip of Owen Point which has lots of algae on the shoreline.
