Now then, Ron Stephenson witnessed and photographed a small bird along the north pathway on Oct.29-- an excellent colour photo of it is in the data-cupboard at the CMRW platform. Today several of us could not put a fix on it-- perhaps bigger than a kinglet, no wingbars, definite white eye-ring, olive colour with no wingbars, AND the bill is somewhat hooked, perhaps vireo-like. We "kicked around" everything from wren to vireo to flycatcher to vireo to gnatcatcher to-----.

The sighting was assisted by a Peregrine Falcon which, when putting up a flock of Bonaparte's Gulls that had been feeding in the waves, revealed the presence of the kittiwake. In the morning, Maureen Riggs and I saw an adult Little Gull in the same area. Presqu'ile is located south of Brighton (HW 401 exit 509) and the way to the park is well-signed.
