While walking along the beach in Long Point Prov Park around 2:30 PM, I
spotted a single black-bellied plover with two killdeer. The bird was
located about 500m east of the automated weather station antenna. It was
just at the edge of the waterline.

Directions: Exit the 401 near Woodstock at Hwy 59 and follow this south
all the way to Lake Erie. Just before the lake at Lakeshore/Front Rd,
turn right to get to Lee Brown's and to check the farm fields for
waterfowl and other migrants. Continue south on 59 and you will see Big
Creek on your right, the Inner Bay on your left, and the provincial park
is at the end of the road. Walk into the park and take the 1st road to
the right. Cross over the parking lot and onto the beach and walk east.

Good birding
