Sept 30 2012, 1:30pm Lapland Longspur (at least one) American Pipit (five or more)
On Gull Island at Presqu'ile Provincial Park today, several of the Longspurs and Pipits mixed it up with sparrows and Least Sandpipers as they bathed and fed amongst the algae-covered rocks on the west side of the island. Photos taken. Gull Island is reachable on foot now from Owen Point due to the low water level. To get to Presqu'ile Provincial Park, take the 401 to Brighton and follow the signs to the park. An entrance fee is required, and there 'may' be access issues due to waterfowl hunting (although I didn't see any problems...)
