[Ontbirds] Purple Gallinule west of Kingsville
The Purple Gallinule continues to be seen just east of the John R. Park Homestead Conservation Area. Copied directions: Just stand at the guardrail and look in southerly direction. Be careful of auto traffic! Location: John R. Park Homestead can found by searching Google Maps, and is on County Rd 50 between Kingsville and Harrow in Essex County. Park in the gravel parking lot up against a flower garden in front of the homestead, walk to County Rd 50 and turn right. There is a small bridge over the road, and the bird is less than 100m south of Rd50 (toward the lake). Viewing is difficult through the thick phragmites and will require patience.

[Ontbirds] Scope left by Reddish Egret Area.
When the rain started and the bird flew north, somebody left a scope. With nobody left in the area, I have put it in my trunk If you can identify it (make or model of scope, tripod, something...) I will be happy to return it My email is greg_stuart at hotmail dot com. And since this is a list for reporting rare birds, ten minutes ago the Egret was in the bay to the north of the northern dead end of Shoreline Ave. Greg Stuart Toronto, Ontario ___ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
