Three of us had very brief glimpses of the Purple Gallinule at 7:50 P.M. at John R Park Homestead before it slipped back into the thick phragmites.
Directions as per Jeremy’s original post - > Location: John R Park Homestead cbe found by searching Google Maps, and is on > County Rd 50 between Kingsville and Harrow in Essex County. If you park in > the gravel parking lot up against a flower garden, walk to County Rd 50 and > turn right. There is a bridge over the road, and the bird is less than 100m > south of Rd50<x-apple-data-detectors://1> (toward the lake). Viewing is > difficult and will require patience. The bird was resting for a while out of > sight, then came back into view and foraged before flying across the creek, > where it was still viewable but tricky. Hopefully that makes enough sense! > The approximate GPS coordinate of the bird is (41.9966, -82.8485), which is > in the middle of a small marsh.
