Ontbirders: Rob Dobos and I are currently watching the juvenile Purple Gallinule at Port Weller East (directions in the post below). The bird is in the south west corner of the pond at the edge of reeds.

It was spotted at 11 am this morning on the count. It's on the 'east' side of the canal. Take the QEW to exit 44 Niagara St. North on Niagara to Lakeshore. Cross the canal and make your first left follow the roads along the canal and park at the gate. The walk out is quite far. Go to the 'pond' on the east side. They viewed the bird from the lake side of the pond. Apparently the vocalizations sound a bit moany. Good luck on the count everyone!
