A solitary sandpiper was (no surprise) by itself in flooded ground on the north side of the trail heading east from Cootes Drive, south-west side of the Royal Botanical Gardens in Hamilton.
Also on the walk, about 6 BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHERS, a YELLOW WARBLER and a WOOD DUCK, and numerous Yellow-Rumped Warblers, but no other warblers. Parking along the side of east-bound Cootes Drive gives access to both the bicycle path noted above, and the foot paths into the RBG on the north-east side of the road.
