Hello Ontbirders: And so the Black Vulture onslaught continues. This individual soared over 83 Bayshore Road in the residential area of Presqu'ile at about 10:00am with 10 Turkey Vultures. All vultures were heading steadily NW. I observed the BLVU for several minutes until it was out of sight.
This is the second park record for this species. Presqu'ile Provincial Park is well-signed south of Highway 401 exit 509 (Brighton/Campbellford). To get to Bayshore Road, follow the main park entrance road straight along the shoreline after the big bend in the road immediately past the Park Store. 83 Bayshore is on the south side of Bayshore Road a short distance east of the bridge over the Calf Pasture meadow. Park tabloids containing a map can be obtained for free at the Main Office at the park entrance. Best wishes and good birding!
