At 1300 Hours Dan Salisbury and I observed an adult Laughing Gull on the rocks at Rock Point Provincial Park. The bird was sitting on the tip of the rocky shore immediately to the east of the sandy beach area with Bonaparte's and Ring-billed Gulls. Also ppresent were 8 Ruddy Turnstones, a number of Dunlin and a few Semipalmated Sandpipers and Semipalmated Plovers.
Directions to Rock Point: From the west on Hwy. 3, go into Dunnville. Where Hwy. 3 curves left, continue straight on Main Street, staying aLng the river. On reaching the bridge that crosses the river, do not cross the bridge but continue straight onto County Road 3 eastbound. Go via Stromness, turning right onto Rymer Road., about 8 km from the bridge in Dunnville. Take first left onto Downy Road. At next intersection, go right. Park entrance is on your left. Enter and drive south to the entry kiosk. From the east on Hwy. 3, drive into Dunnville, turn left onto Inman Road. Go right onto onto Mumby Road. Follow this to County Road 3, then turn left.
