Long Sault - Identified by call. Now it is not safe to 'make a call' on these birds because they are too close to the Alder in plumage and most are no longer calling.

Sue Bishop: Such a beautiful bird. We didn't brave the water and did not see many shorebirds on our recent trip to Presqu'ile. Well done!
BrianMorin: Even the immature birds are quite attractive. Presqu'ile is a great spot with such a variety of habitats that there is something for everyone. Access to the island is only possible from September 11 on following the end of the breeding season for colonial breeding birds.

The bird was on territory and I was able to get it from my car. I thought I had some fairly good shots at Point Pelee but this turned out even better.
