Georgian Bay is dotted with thousands of small islands, many of which present navigation hazards to large ships using the channels. Many of the islands have picturesque lighthouses on them. This one is on Brebuf Island. |

There are a number of large rookeries for various types of birds on some of the more remote Georgian Bay Islands. Besides the seagulls that nested on this island, there was also a very active Black Crowned Night heron rookery. I felt sorry for these birds as they had to run the gauntlet of gulls whenever they brought food to their young. |
