July 31/06 Today I did a short walk around the Holland Landing Lagoons and observed the following shorebirds. Needless to say it was brutally hot! -at least 35 Lesser Yellowlegs - 8 Solitary Sandpipers -5 Spotted Sandpipers -1 Killdeer -2 Stilt Sandpipers ( west pond - still quite brightly coloured with very distinct barring on belly) -2 Semipalmated Plovers -1 Pectoral Sandpiper -20 Least Sandpipers -2 Semipalmated Sandpipers
As well there were large numbers of Mallards, Bonaparte's Gulls, one Red-tailed Hawk, and at least four Blue-winged Teal. Black-crownwed Night Herons are starting to appear along Canal Road between Highway 11 and Simcoe Road (Bradford) as well as several Great Blues and Caspian Terns. Good birding!
