Spent a few hours birding the park today and by far the best bird of the day was a lone Willet feeding along beach 2 & 3. One small group of Dunlin were also visible. See links for Willet and Dunlin. I am pretty sure its a Willet, the flight shot helps with the ID.

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.
