Hi Ont Birders The breeding plumage Eared Grebe was still present off Owen Point (10:30 a.m.) and a dark Ibis, either Glossy or White-faced flew from Gull Island to Beach 1 and landed along the shore line. Heading there now, Good Birding Bruce
To reach Presqu'ile Provincial Park, follow the signs from Brighton. Locations within the Park are shown on a map at the back of a tabloid that is available at the Park gate. Access to the offshore islands is restricted until after September 10 to prevent disturbance to the colonial nesting birds there. It is not clear yet how deep the channel is between Owen Point and Gull Island. Visitors to Gull Island not using a boat should be prepared to wade through water of uncertain depth in which there is often a swift current and a substrate that is somewhat uneven and slippery. Birders are encouraged to record their observations on the bird sightings board provided by The Friends of Presqu'ile Park and to fill out a rare bird report for species not listed there.
