Subject: [Ontbirds] Thick-billed Kingbird at Presqu'ile
Hi Ontbirders
I notice no one has posted recent information on this amazing rarity that
Bill Gilmour found last evening so, just to update, the bird was seen at
the same location until about 730 this evening when it flew to the same
area it went to last night so hopefully it will be here again tomorrow
morning. It spent most of today in plain view from Bayshore Rd., mostly
at the first cottage east of the Calf Pasture bridge (usually in dead
tops of cedars by the 3 motor boats parked on the lawn), but also roamed
east several cottages and also did a few forays south of Bayshore into
the Calf Pasture field. This morning the bird began calling and became
active around 610 a.m. so as long as it stays tonight, one hopes a
similar pattern will repeat tomorrow. Good Luck all, and remember these
are private properties along Bayshore Rd. so please stay on the roadside
unless invited to enter a property by a landowner.

Because Bayshore Road is narrow with few good parking spots, please
access it from Presqu'ile Provincial Park at the Calf Pasture day use
area. Take the park road (instead of bayshore) and follow it; when it
becomes a one way loop, follow it around past the lighthouse and in about
3 km, go right on Atkins Lane to the Calf Pasture Day Use parking area.
When you go through the underpass, the bird is roughly 100m E of this
point or 150m from the parking lot. You can pick up a park newspaper at
the gate which has a map.
