Today there were 5 Snowy Owls in the Owen Point area. Three were along the beach, one was on the point and one was on Gull Island. There were also 3 male Northern Harriers in the area and a Northern Shrike at the Owen Point parking lot. No luck with the Barrow's Goldeneye.
Brendan Directions courtesy of Fred Helleiner: To reach Presqu'ile Provincial Park, follow the signs from Brighton. Locations within the Park are shown on a map at the back of a tabloid that is available at the Park gate. Visitors to Gull Island not using a boat should be prepared to wade through knee-deep water in which there is often a swift current and a substrate that is somewhat uneven and slippery. Birders are encouraged to record their observations on the bird sightings board provided near the campground office by The Friends of Presqu'ile Park and to fill out a rare bird report for species not listed there. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
