Presqu'ile Provincial Park - An uncommon migrant. There were three birds hanging around Gull Island for a few days. It meant heading out in chest waders – the water was up to waist deep for part of the walk over but worth the effort. The high wind that developed didn't help the trip back however. Last year at this time we could walk over in low boots or sandals.
