Rondeau Day 2

The next morning we drove down to the southernmost parking lot and hiked the South Point Trail.

We drove by a wild turkey on our way to the trailhead.

The trail went through the woods and then out onto the beach on the south end of the peninsula.  Leo saw a Canada warbler, a lifer for him.

On the beach we saw semipalmated plover, 

Dunlin,

Ruddy turnstones 

and unidentified small sandpipers.

An enjoyable hike but it got a little hot and mosquitoes by the end.  So we stopped by at the park store and had an icecream.

In the afternoon we drove to Erieau, a resort town  located on the end of a peninsula adjacent to Rondeau Park.

There's a long beach here and people were actually swimming.  The lake was a bit scummy here.

We walked down the breakwater 

to the miniature  light house.
