Greetings Ontbirders Doug McRae found a Piping Plover at Presqui'ie around 10:00 today. The bird was moving from beach three to beach two. It had a Blue band on the right leg, a metal band on the upper left and an orange over blue band on the lower left.
A Willet was also found on the beach moving between the Natural Beach and Owen Pt. Sorry for the late post. To reach Presqu'ile Provincial Park, follow the signs from Brighton. Locations within the Park are shown on a map at the back of a tabloid that is available at the Park gate. Access to the offshore islands is restricted at this time of year to prevent disturbance to the colonial nesting birds there. Birders are encouraged to record their observations on the bird sightings board provided near the campground office by The Friends of Presqu'ile Park and to fill out a rare bird report for species not listed there. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
