Greetings Ontbirders, I just returned from several days (October 8-12) of camping in Lake Superior Provincial Park and although I wasn't focused on birding, I did note some interesting observations. The park was inundated with Lapland Longspurs, Horned Larks and American Pipits - along all the roadways, parking lots and shorelines. Many were being road-killed by the heavy traffic along Highway 17. I also saw: Black-bellied Plover (1) at Old Woman Bay Black-backed Woodpecker (1) at the junction of Gamitagama Road and Hwy 17 Bald Eagle (4 adults) various locations Sharp-shinned Hawks (numerous migrating) - appeared to be following the Superior shore
Lake Superior Provincial Park is located along the north shore of Lake Superior between the Montreal River and the town of Wawa. The Trans Canada Highway (Hwy 17) travels through the entire north-south length of the park. The scenery throughout the park is spectacular! Happy autumn birding!
