Hi Ontbirders There is a Piping Plover on Beach 1 at Presqu’ile Prov. Park. It was apparently found this morning by Park staff and was present this evening when I checked at 1700h. It is a banded bird - combination is UL=metal, LL=Black over Orange split band, UR=Orange, LR=Black with numbers 135 in white lettering.
There is also a 1st summer Iceland Gull on Beach 2 Cheers, Doug Directions: Presqu’ile Provincial Park is located on the north shore of Lake Ontario, just south of the town of Brighton. It can be reached from either Hwy. 401, or Cty. Rd. 2 and is well signed. A Park map can be found in the information tabloid available at the Park gate. Presqu’ile’s two offshore islands – Gull and High Bluff – support a large multi-species colonial bird nesting area and access is not permitted during the breeding season (10 March-10 September).
