Hi all, This morning I found a Louisiana Waterthrush on Jobes Woods trail at Presqu’ile. It was at the small series of ponds at Post 5 (which is fallen over but still visible) - interestingly the same site we had one several years ago. There is also a Northern Waterthrush territory right there. It did not sing but did call periodically.
There were 3 Piping Plovers on the Beach today - mostly around beach 2 and all were north of the small exclosure that Ontario Parks have put up. One bird was displaying and one with #071 on a yellow band was making scrapes very close to the back of the beach. Although the exclosure has been put up I would encourage birders to give them more room and not approach the entire area too closely. Hopefully these birds will establish a nest shortly. Otherwise it was a fairly quiet day without large numbers, although the species count was good. Doug Presqu’ile is located on the north shore of Lake Ontario just south of the town of Brighton, and is well signed from Hwy 401 or the former Hwy 2. Doug McRae P.O.
