Hi all, This afternoon, Burke Korol (from Barrie) and David ___?___ (from London) re-found one of the Pacific Loons reported a couple days earlier. My son and I were grateful to have them show it to us as well. The bird was visible from Minet Point Park, on the south side of the bay. Originally the bird was almost across the bay, but it drifted a considerable distance east while we watched it. This particular bird appeared to be transitioning from breeding plumage to winter plumage. Bring your scope!!
Directions (as per Andrew Keaveney): These two parks are reached via Lakeshore Dr. in Barrie. Take Essa Rd. exit off of Hwy. 400 and head east to Kempenfelt Bay. Also seen at the Marina in Barrie were lots (10+?) of Little Gulls close to shore. Unfortunately, we did not see the Black-legged Kittiwake.
