Hi Ontbirders,
This evening Bruce Di Labio and I checked Owen Pt. at Presqu'ile Prov.
Park and saw 4 juv. Buff-breasted Sandpipers, 3 juv. Red Knot and an
ad. White-rumped Sandpiper among about 250 shorebirds visible. The
knots were on the gravel near the tip of Owen Pt. and the Buff-
breasted were feeding about 100-200m North of Owen Pt. along the edge
of the shoreline smartweed. At times they would disappear into the
vegetation for several minutes then emerge into the open.
Cheers,
Doug McRae
Directions: Presqu'ile Prov. Park is located south of Brighton, on
the north shore of Lake Ontario. It is well signed from either Hwy.
401 or Hwy. 2.
