Hi all, This morning Baxter Nayday, Stu Williams and myself saw and photographed an immature male Harlequin Duck at Gull Island, Presqu’ile. It was with a small party of Long-tailed Ducks and was initially on the north side of the bar between Owen Pt. and Gull Is., but flew off and was relocated half way along the south side of Gull Is., the again in the channel between Gull and High Bluff Is.
Shorebirds included a Purple Sandpiper half way along the south shore of Gull and 3 Dunlins. Other birds included an immature Iceland Gull and about 125 Snow Buntings. Cheers, Doug McRae Directions: Presqu’ile is on the north shore of Lake Ontario south of the town of Brighton and is well signed from Hwy 401 or Hwy 2. Doug McRae P.O.
