Three small flocks of Whimbrel flew past our house overlooking Long Point Bay today. At about 8:15 a flock of 10; at about 10:30 a flock of 30; at about 12:45 a flock of about 45. The last group was accompanied by three D-C Cormorants -- who knew they could fly so fast?
Chauncey & Sarah Wood Port Ryerse is a small hamlet just southwest of Port Dover. The road to the beach has a small parking area, and when the water is not so high Whimbrel can sometimes be observed on the rocks to the east. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
