Early yesterday afternoon Ross Wood and I observed a Prairie Falcon darting east along the shore about 5km east of the ‘New’ Long Point Provincial Park. This area is private land and access is restricted - we were in a boat.
This is Long Point’s second Prairie Falcon. Miraculously, the first Prairie Falcon was observed at the Tip of Long Point 18 years ago to the day - August 24, 1996! Hopefully it’ll show up again on Long Point, or somewhere more accessible along Lake Erie’s north shore. Good birding, Stu To get to Long Point, follow the birds, or Hwy 59 south from the 401 until you hit Lake Erie.
