Flv azaric mushrooms are also The whole park area has great variety consisting of sand beaches. sand dunes, marshes, wooded areas and limestone‘ shores. This range of environ- ment produces many species of plant and bird life. so that the park is a favored observation point for naturalists. It is a fabulous place to watch birds and many birds and people visit it in early May. Gulls of many varieties are seen and possibly 100,000 ring-billed gulls nest on a small offshore island. The island itself is three miles east to west and first became a park in 1922 when a commission took it over and put in a golf course. etc. It was developed in 1957 as a provincial park and now has 300,000 visitors a year’. Presqu'ile is on the shore of Lake Ontario, 100 miles east of Toronto and just south of Brighton. It is “almost an is- land,” ie. it is made up of a limestone rock island Connected to the shore by a wave-formed sand peninsula. Its most popular and well known feature is the two and a half mile sand beach. The island part of Presqu‘ile was cleared and farmed by Un- ited Empire Loyalists and farm- ing continued up to 1900. The remnants of the homes of the} first settlers are still preserved. Farming was not good since thesoil is shallow, being only a two~ foot layer over the limestone. These dry, abandoned farmlands now grow a profusion of wild plants including milkweed, blue- weed, curled dock, St. John’s wort and oak trees. The sloughs of Presqu’ile are the low moist areas, generally without a drainage outlet, and usually with lush vegetation and many mosquitoes. One ofrthe Nature a»; Fly agaric mushrooms are also found and these are very pois- onous often having dead flies lying on and around them. Altogether 600 different plant species have been found in the park. ‘ The “fingers” of Presqu‘ile are long, narrow ridges of sand with low wet areas between. These fingers were likely formed by wave action building up a ser- ies of sand beaches. Over the years the fingers have become well covered with high shrubs or trees while the marshes bet- ween contrast by remaining in low plants like catbails. Mr. Seddon’s interesting talk and beautiful slides were en- joyed by all, and there will be many more naturalists likely to visit Presqu'ile and take a real interest in it as a result. The sand beach and dunes of Presqu'ile are still building, and tall worm-wood, a relative of sagebrush, is the first plant to start on sand dunes, followed by large amounts of poison ivy. OTHER. ITEMS Club Member Sam Teleki got the meeting off to a prompt start with a 10 minute “quickie” on the Maya Indians in Zlnacan- tan, South Mexico. He visited the area in the summer of 1970 and showed pictures of these unusual and ancient people. Club President Russell Tilt read a letter from the Richmond Hill Centennial Committee as- king the Naturalists to partici- pate in the town's centennial in 1973. The club is open to sug- gestions from members and friends of nature. The next meeting will be March 19 in Richmond Hill Library at 8pm sharp.

On Tiny‘s re- turn I was handed a fish heart which I dropped with a cold feeling. It was around 1:30 by the time We had finished eating. By this time we were taking in reports on who had caught the biggest fish but Steve was still in the lead. By the time 6:00 pm rolled around. everybody was heat and glad to board the bus home.
