Don Shanahan and I revisited the beaches of Presqu'ile today to see what we
could find and we were able to witness an amazing number of Semipalmated
Sandpipers estimated as best we could at about 2500 birds.Good numbers of
Ruddy Turnstones and 7 other species.

Directions
Turn south at the Highway 30 exit on the Highway 401, which is the main
artery between Toronto, Ontario and Montreal, Quebec. Brighton is
approximately halfway between Toronto and Kingston. Once you reach the town
(pop. 4500) watch for the signs to the Park
