Hi folks I need to apologize. Several birders reported seeing a white rump on this bird which I never saw. This afternoon I finally had good looks in better lighting conditions and I believe this bird is a Dunlin.
Sorry :-( Marcie ________________________________________ From: Marcia Jacklin Sent: Sunday, October 19, 2008 1:29 PM To: Ontbirds Subject: SUNDAY Still there juv. CURLEW SANDPIPER - Hello Tim Seburn and I relocated this bird early this afternoon (Sunday) at about 1:30. It has moved approximately 3 km/2 miles west of 'Jaeger Rocks'. I actually got in on my yard list!! New directions: take the QEW to Fort Erie. Take exit 2 for Thompson Rd/Bertie St toward Co Hwy 17/Co Hwy 122 . Turn right at Thompson Rd Slight right toward Garrison Rd 0.3 km. Slight right at Garrison Rd . Turn left at Kraft Rd Go to the end of Kraft road and park. Walk towards the beach and turn west (right). Walk about .5 km. We found it resting and feeding on a small rock about 100 m out in the water.
