Hi Ontbirders The Snowy Egret was feeding at waters’ edge at Beach 2 this morning. It is along the beach right where the southern-most path from the Beach 2 parking lot meets the beach so walk very slowly as you approach the beach or it will flush. It has some kind of injury to side of its face/ear region. There are also 4 Red Knot and 10 Ruddy Turnstone there that are equally tame so long as you move slowly and let them approach you.
I did not see the Cattle Egret on Huff Rd at 530 or 915 this morning. Cheers, Doug Directions: Presqu’ile Provincial Park is located on the north shore of Lake Ontario, just south of the town of Brighton. It can be reached from either Hwy. 401, or Cty. Rd. 2 and is well signed. A Park map can be found in the information tabloid available at the Park gate. Presqu’ile’s two offshore islands – Gull and High Bluff – support a large multi-species colonial bird nesting area and access is not permitted during the breeding season (10 March-10 September).
