Today 40 OFO members and friends enjoyed a beautiful day with some
decent birding just north of Toronto. 73 species were tallied
including 12 shorebirds. At Palgrave the summer drought had left the
marsh dry so only a few birds were recorded. Best were Yellow-bellied
Flycatcher, Blackburnian, Black-throated Green and Black and White
warblers, plus 2 flocks of Turkeys.
At the sod farms in the Beeton/Tottenham area, a mixed flock of
Black-bellied and Golden Plovers (immatures & adults) were found on
the 10th Line near 15th Sideroad.
At Holland Landing Lagoons were several Pectoral Sandpipers,
both juvenile and adult Solitary Sandpipers, Semipalmated and Least
Sandpipers, both Yellowlegs, and a juvenile Short-billed Dowitcher, as
well as Killdeer, Semipalmated Plovers and Spotted Sandpipers.
