Directions to Fifty Point C.A.: Take QEW Niagara to Fifty Road. Head toward the lake and take the North Service Road around to the first road which branches off left (sorry forgot the name). There is a sign here pointing to the Conservation Area. Enter the Fifty Point C.A. (there is a $5.00 charge) and follow signs to the marina or go to viewing points out on the east side of the park. You may also park at the end of Kelson Road and walk down to the beach. The bird has been seen between the marina and the DND property about 150 m out. Be patient, sometimes it disappears.

The Western Grebe and a non-breading Pacific Loon were seen today by
many birders at around 8:00-9:30AM. Due to the location of the birds in
relation to the sun, they were best seen from the end of Kelson Rd (pass
the Conservation area entrance and take the next left). Both birds were
showing well. The loon was not very active and the Grebe came fairly
close to the beach (80m or so).
