With the strong west winds, there was a lot of action today on the east side of the Tip of Point Pelee.
The most interesting bird was a Pacific Look that flew by from north to south, at relatively close range. It was extremely obvious due to the fact that it appeared to be in essentially full breeding plumage. Other observers were Randy Horvath, Robert Horvath and Adam Pinch (Marianne Reid had left 15 minutes earlier). This is only Point Pelee's 5th record, and 2nd in fall.
