20110606 - 2 808 Ruddy Turnstone.jpg

Presqu'ile Point

Had a great day at Presqu'ile Park. Left home at 5:00 AM and got back home at 8:00 PM. A long day, but I got four lifers that day. One, the Least Bittern (already posted), then this plus two other Ruddy Turnstones, also Caspian Terns and finally my first baby Mute Swans (Cygnets). It was a beautiful still and clear day, so I also managed some nice scenic shots of the Swans and reflections in the still waters. Finally, a heavy mist blew in from Lake Ontario. The mist lasted only about a half hour before again clearing, however, it stayed long enough to permit some good shots. I'll post some of these over the next few days.
