Good morning Ontbirders It’s a good morning at Presqu’ile! There is a banded Piping Plover on Beach 2-3. It is Number 064 which I think is the female that nested here in 2016. There is also a Semipalmated Plover in the same area. The Lake is glass calm and in the far distance straight out from Beach 2 is a flock of 52 White-winged Scoter and about 45 degrees to the right is a flock of 11 Long-tailed Duck.
Also the Cattle Egret was back on Huff Rd. on the west side by the southern dug out pond. To my knowledge it had not been seen since 3 July. Directions: Presqu’ile is on the north shore of Lake Ontario south of Brighton and is well signed from either Hwy 2 or 401. Huff Rd is just west of Brighton and runs south from Hwy 2. The egret is usually near the cattle which is about 1-1.5 km south of the railroad tracks. Doug McRae P.O.
