In breaking Presque Isle State Park news, it appeared as of this past Friday that traffic striping had been completed along the section of re-paved road between the entrance the Waldameer Park and Sara’s Plaza and the entrance to Presque Isle State Park. This concluded a monthslong under-road drainage construction project, which snarled traffic into and out of the park the entire summer. Also of note, several manhole covers were re-leveled, eliminating a series of annoying depressions in the right exit lane. When asked about the newly completed road, an anonymous passerby at Vista 1 remarked, “What? Please leave me alone.”
In other news, with the start of duck hunting season, the National Weather Service issued an alert advising migrating waterfowl against landing on both Presque Isle Bay and Thompson Bay. A representative from the Greater Erie Chamber of Commerce commented that at least one flock of Mallards had decided to avoid Erie County altogether this year due to gun violence.
Despite the warning, several ducks (etc.) were spotted at Presque Isle State Park over the weekend, including those in the following gloomy photographs Sunday taken under very cloudy/dark conditions.

Thanks, Team Leader for the road update. This Team Member can now enjoy the improvements….finally!
Loved all the photos the Tundra Swans!
It’s nice to have the PI entrance road back in full action. Even nicer to see Tundra Swans 🙂
