Good afternoon all
Just got back from the Toronto Islands and this morning at approx. 9am I
found a Piping Plover on the beach at Hanlans Point on the Islands couldn't
report it until now as I did not take any spare change with me to make any
phone calls and everything is still closed over there thus no place to get
change. That's my story and I am going to stick with it.
The bird was on the beach behind the airfield with Killdeers and Gulls and
was seen for 10 minutes before I moved on.
Directions to the bird.
After disembarking from the Hanlans Point ferry walk south to the very end
of the airport fence and turn right and walk west to the beach. The bird was
just to the right of the end of the trail and right at waters edge.
Directions to the Islands
TORONTO ISLANDS
To get to the Toronto Islands from Queen and Yonge Streets on the TTC. If
your on the subway
southbound stay on it and get off at Union Station, walk south about 1 km to
the ferry docks at the
foot of Bay Street and Queens Quay and you are there. If in an auto on the
Gardener Expressway
or on Lakeshore Blvd, then exit at Bay Street and drive south to Queens
Quay, there are lots of
parking lots nearby (fee). There is a fee for using the island ferries
($6.00 for adults/ $3.50 for seniors) and to
find out the sailing times you can phone (416) 392-8193 and there are
washrooms on the islands
as well as the city side at the ferry docks.
The 1st boat to Hanlans Point is 8:00 am and the 2nd is 8:30am Monday
to Friday and the 1st is at 8:1 am on Saturday and Sunday.
