Hello Everyone. Derek & Jen Lyon just came into the Visitor Centre with fantastic pictures of a Black-necked Stilt they found at the Hillman Marsh Shorebird Cell. The bird was seen a couple times between 11:30 am and 12:30 pm. It was chased off twice by the Ring-billed Gulls - it returned once and was last seen at 12:30 pm flying east over the shorebird blind towards the marsh proper.
It was sticking to the mud flats when in the shorebird cell, rather than wading in the deeper water. There will be many eyes out at the cell this afternoon - the first OFO Shorebird Night of the Festival takes place between 4-6 pm. Good birding everyone Sarah Sarah Rupert Promotion Officer, Point Pelee National Park Parks Canada, Government of Canada sarah.rup...@pc.gc.ca | 519.322.5700 ext 3323 Agente de la promotion, Parc national de la Pointe-Pelée Parcs Canada, Gouvernement du Canada sarah.rup...@pc.gc.ca | 519.322-5700 poste 3323 Time to Connect / Un bon temps pour se rapprocher _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
