Yesterday at 4.30 pm and today at 10.30 pm the juvenile ruff was present
west of the bridge on Road 31. Both days it was chumming with with
lesser yellowlegs, rather than pectorals. It stands out by its peachy
coloured face, neck and breast alone.
Directions: (by memory; have lost earlier postings and just back from
Stratford) Exit the 401 at 222, go north past Embro to sideroad 28, go
west past Harrington to Road 31 and turn north to bridge. The more
westernly bridge on road 29 has very poor habitat and almost all the
shorebirds were east and west of the bridge on road 31. Good luck.
