Brant are still being observed on a few rock outcroppings just west of Chimney Island in the St. Lawrence River. Chimney Island is 2 km. west of Brown’s Bay Day Use Area along the 1,000 Islands Parkway. 1/3 of the numbers from this morning have moved on, but there are still good numbers to be seen, several hundred.
Directions: take the 401 8 km west of Brockville to the 1,000 Islands Parkway exit. Travel along the Parkway until Brown’s Bay on the south side, then mark 2 km past there. Going west. There is a rest area and Chimney Island is an obvious island from the shore, with a chimney structure in the centre. Follow the Gull and Tern fallout which is happening now, along the shore of the river westbound. Ribbon of white as far as the eye can see.
