This afternoon at 4:00 pm. there were two Buff-Breasted Sandpipers at the Beeton Sod Farms on the north side of the 10th concession about 1 km west of the 15th sideroad. There was also in excess of 120 American Golden Plovers and Black-Bellied Plovers. I also counted about 10 American Pipits. There were also 2 Dunlin and one Pectoral Sandpiper and numerous Killdeer.
To get there take the 15th sideroad either south from Hwy 89 or north from the Beeton Road until you reach the 10th Concession. Hwy 89 can be reached by turning west at the Cookstown cut off from Hwy 400. The Beeton road can be reached by turning west off Hwy 400 at the Bond Head cut off (Hwy 88) then north at the next set of lights in Bond Head onto Hwy 27. At the next set of lights turn left onto the Beeton Road and travel about 5 km to the 15th sideroad (County Road 55).
