I don't know whether this is the appropriate forum for reporting a STFL,
or whether it has been reported on this or other fora, but here are the
details:

On April 27 the property owners at 164 Bayshore Road at Presqu'ile saw
the bird but did not know its identity.  At noon on April 28 the bird
appeared at 186 Bayshore Road and was immediately identified.  Between
noon and 7 p.m. it was seen and photographed by many observers on the
lake side of the properties between 164 and 190 Bayshore Road.  If
parking is done reasonably (which includes ignoring the no parking signs
that no one notices), birders are welcome to walk around the house at
186 Bayshore Road to access the lake side but are asked to let the
occupants know whether or not the bird is present.

To access Bayshore Road follow the signs in Brighton leading to
Presqu'ile Provincial Park.  After passing through the Park gate, remain
on the main road (which becomes Bayshore Road) rather than turning to
the right where signs point to Park facilities.
