Hi All,
just had a Willet fly over the Observatory and it looked as
though it headed down into the harbour area. This is the first spring record
for
the National Wildlife Area.
Just heading down to the harbour to check it out.

To reach Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory and the NWA, from Picton.
Take Main Street from the east end of downtown Picton, go down to the
bottom of the hill and turn immediately right onto Union Street (directly
across
from Tip of the Bay Motel). Follow Union Street up out of Picton (it becomes
County Road 8) for 2.5 km, at the junction in the highway, turn right onto
County Road 17 and follow it for 6.5km, turn left onto County Road 16 and
continue to the stop sign at the end (about 1km). Turn right and follow County
Road 13 past the Black River Cheese factory and continue for 23.5 km to the
Prince Edward Point National Wildlife Area (County Road 13 eventually
becomes Long Point Road). At Ducks Dive Charters the road turns to gravel,
continue for 2.5 km to the bird observatory/harbour
