Birders:
Common Terns were in unusually high numbers at Port Burwell yesterday
and this afternoon. I estimated 3,500 to 5,000 birds today. There were close
to 2,000 on the small east beach in the village itself and larger numbers on
the Provincial Park beach. I also spotted at least two little gulls amidst the
perhaps 1000 Bonaparts gulls present. Shorebirds were almost absent with the
exception of a few killdeer, sanderling and spotted sandpipers. Good Birding.
Port Burwell is at the southern terminus of hiway 19 on lake Erie's north
shore. Take the Ingersol exit south from hiway 401.
