At 5pm this evening, May 15, the Piping Plover reappeared at Beach 2 at Presqu'ile. I had been scoping the beach for a while, seeing only Sanderling, Dunlin, and Leasts and was about to leave when I heard the two-toned call and turned round to find the plover back in the spot I had just been searching. I think it must have flown in from another part of the shoreline.
Directions: Presqu'ile is on the north shore of Lake Ontario, south of Brighton. It is well signed from Hwy 2 or the 401. Currently the gate to Beach 2 is closed, so access is via the Beach 1 parking lot.
