Today while birding Prince Edward Point Wildlife Area we observed a
Townsend's Solitaire. It was on the top of a deciduous tree about 100
metres before Ducks Dive Charters, on the right hand side of the road.
There was a flock of about sixty American Robins in the area and a
smaller flock of cedar waxwings.
In the harbour there were Mallards, Gadwall, greater scaup and a
couple of bufflehead.
Good Birding Mike and Kathy.
To reach Prince Edward Point National Wildlife Area, take Main Street from the east end
of downtown Picton, down the "Town Hill", and turn immediately right onto Union
Street (directly across from Tip of the Bay Motel). Follow Union Street out of Picton
(becomes County Road 8) for 2.5 km, and at the junction in the highway, follow County
Road 17. Take County Road 17 for 6.5 km and look for the Black River Cheese sign, and
turn left onto County Road 16 and follow for 1 km to the Stop sign at County Road 13.
Follow County Road 13 past Black River Cheese for 23.6 km to the Prince Edward Point
National Wildlife Area (County Road 13 eventually becomes Long Point Road). Follow the
Long Point Road until you see Ducks Dive Charters.
