Shorebird numbers on Gull Island this morning were low but the variety was good. Singles of Buff-breasted Sandpiper, Stilt Sandpiper and Dunlin, plus small numbers of Sanderling, American Golden Plover, Least, Semipalmated SP and Semipalmated Plover.
Presqu'ile Provincial Park is south of Brighton. Follow the park road and park at the lot marked for Owen Point Trail. Follow the trail to Owen Point, then wade across to Gull Island. The water is knee-deep and pleasantly cool. The island is not open on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday due to duck hunting. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
