Lake Ontario at Massassauga Point Conservation Area in PEC : Lake Ontario

A strong breeze off the lake when we arrived at the site today, and seasonal temperatures compared to 24 hours ago before the heat warning broke in the early morning hours this morning. The lake was very choppy, with consistent small waves breaking on the shore. Not much wildlife activity as a result, but we saw some dragonflies of a species we hadn't seen at the site in large numbers during previous visits with stripey wings flying low closer to the vegetation, and some damselflies (including a breeding pair). Definite increase in the tent caterpillar / gypsy moth presence, in the same trees as last week and additional trees too. Saw a small flock of about 5 cormorants fly by, and a couple gulls. Saw an osprey across the bay, and then a different pair of osprey near the survey site as we were leaving. Found a fish skeleton on the shore, which may have washed up in the waves or is left over from people or bird fishers. Some smashed zebra mussel shells on the rocks. Found a single bumblebee on some viper's bugloss.
