Birders
Just a reminder the Piping Plovers at Hanlan's Point are endangered
under both provincial and federal species-at-risk legislation. The
Wilson's and Snowy Plover are vagrants. If you are pursuing these
significant sightings be extra cautious about interfering with the
Piping Plovers. It appears they are attempting to nest at Hanlans' Point
Remember the welfare of birds, all birds, comes first, especially
endangered birds. Under the Ontario ESA, it is prohibited to wilfully
kill, injure or interfere with an endangered species, or to interfere
with or destroy the habitat of an endangered species.
