Just a quick update on the shorebirds at Rock point.... I visited from 3:30 to 6:00 today and had a decent variety of shorebirds at the east end of the park on the rocks around the point.
200+ Semipalmated Sandpiper 30+ Least Sandpiper 15+ Sanderling 6 Ruddy Turnstone 5+ Spotted Sandpiper 5+ Semipalmated Plover 4 White-rumped Sandpiper, including 1 juvenile 1 Solitary Sandpiper 1 Baird's Sandpiper (juvenile) 1 Killdeer Rock Point Provincial Park (entrance fee) is on the north shore of Lake Erie south of Dunnville. From Dunnville follow Regional Rd 3 south. Turn right on Rymer Road, left on Downey Rd, right on Niece Rd. (The route is well signed with Provinical Park signs). Once in the park ask for a map and directions to the lookout over the fossil beach. Follow the trail from the lookout down to the beach. Good birding, Josh Vandermeulen _________________________________________________________________ More storage. Better anti-spam and antivirus protection.
