Dateline: 16-17 June 2022, Presque Isle State Park
Wishing everyone an excellent weekend, wherever your travels/ adventures may lead.
With the extra-warm/humid weather in Erie this week, it only made sense to hit Gull Point in the very early AM. (On a side note, the biting flies are out. Seriously, take insect repellant.) Nothing unusual to report other than turtles (see the turtles post); birds at Gull Point included gulls, Turkey Vulture, Bald Eagle, Starling, sparrows, swallows, Killdeer, Spotted Sandpiper, Semipalmated Sandpiper, Canada Goose, Yellow Warbler, Double-breasted Cormorant, Red-winged Blackbird, Crow, American Robin, Gray Catbird, Downy Woodpecker, Northern Flicker, GBH, and so on.
No rain; trail conditions remain good. Rip current warnings in effect recently, so more surf than usual.
Most of the BirdingPI.com team’s on post-migration season ‘summer break,’ but the core staff’s on duty (as always) for keeping track of whatever can be kept track of. Hopefully some great birds and other nature!
Kicking off the weekend with birds! Following shot is Turkey Vulture with air-born cottonwood fuzz:

Wrapping it up with some nice shots of Barn Swallow. Such a lovely bird. All out at Gull Point.
