Hi all,

There are two Purple Sandpipers and a Dunlin walking around the tip of Owen Pt. at Presqu’ile Provincial Park.  With a scope we could also see a Snowy Owl on Gull Island, and two adult Bald Eagles sitting together and a dark morph Rough-legged Hawk on High Bluff Is.

Owen Pt is the southern-most part of the beach and is best accessed from the Park Store Parking area, then proceed along the main path to the base of Owen Pt. and follow the trail to the tip.

Cheers,

Doug
