On Sunday, October 5, Sarah Wood found two Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers at Long Point. This is a fairly late date for the species.
One was on the west branch of Johnson Ave.; the other near the washrrom area of the campground. Both were found in mid-afternoon. Earlier in the day while we were going along Hastings Drive a Bald Eagle put up hundreds of ducks, geese, and nine Sandhill Cranes. Chauncey Wood [EMAIL PROTECTED] Directions: Long Point is southwest of Hamilton, directly south of Port Rowan. To reach it you can drive south on Hwy 6 from Hamilton, passing through Hagersville and turning right, west in Jarvis onto Hwy 3, drive to Simcoe and turn left, south on Hwy 24 and follow this to Hwy 59, ( it curves to the west south of town) turn left, south on Hwy 59 and drive right down about 8 km and past the golf course and you will be on the causeway. Drive on across the bridge and continue past the marina on your left. The road comes to Lake Erie where it curves to the left through the cottage / retail business area. Continue driving until you come to Johnson Ave. on your left. For the campground drive to the very end of the main road along the point. Automobile access is very limited during hunting season. For Hastings Dr. turn right instead of left at the south end of the causeway.
