My sister and I saw three purple sandpipers and a Dunlin on the beach at Owen
Point today. I presume these are the same ones seen in recent weeks, but I
hadn’t seen any postings about them in the past few days, so I wondered if they
had left.

Directions: go south from 401 Brighton/Campbellford exit and follow the signs to
the park. Drive to the parking for the Park Store. Walk past the park store to
the Owen Point Trail sign and go left.
