Buckeyes in Ontario

Sat Jul 24 03:08:05 EDT 1999

The invasion continues. One was spotted this week 75 km east of Toronto
at Darlington Provincial Park, and two more 150 km east of Toronto on
the north shore of Lake Ontario at Presqu'ile Provincial Park.

The Toronto Rare Bird Hotline reported tonight that the first-ever
buckeye reached Algonquin Provincial Park this week. For those
unfamiliar with Algonquin, its about a 3.5 to 4 hour drive north of
Toronto, a huge wilderness park of mixed forests, rocky hills and
outcroppings, bears, wolves, moose, etc.
