Hi all,
Yesterday, Penny and I took a drive around the point after checking out
the polling station for our Tuesday duties. There were 2 adults keeping a
juvenile Sandhill Crane very close/between themselves - possibly our 'local'
pair.
At the 'mowed field' opposite Bressettes a Whimbrel was catching insects
and occasionally probing along with 3 Killdeer.
On the rocks at the main point there were ~ 100 Plack-bellied and ~ dozen
Golden Plovers, ~15 Dunlin, ~8 Greater yellowlegs and 3/4 pectoral Sandpipers.
Also 2 adult Great Black-backed and ~8 Bonaparte's Gull and on the beach 3
Sanderling.
Cheers! Maris
Directions: Access K.P. from Hwy. #21 and Lakeshore Road Lambton Cty. Rd. #7
and drive to lake.
