This morning between 625 and 745, I observed about 480 Brant (in 4 flocks), 60 Whimbrels and 150 Dunlin from Salmon Island. The Dunlin were feeding along the shore of the island; the others flew westward over/near the island.
Directions: Take the Sir John A. McDonald Parkway south off Highway 401 at Kingston. Turn right on Bath Road. Follow it to/toward the Kingston Airport. Just before the airport, Lake Ontario will be visible off to your left. Scan the water....straight out about 2 km will be a small island -about 10 m wide and 100 m long, oriented North-South. This is Salmon Island.
