It was a slow in the park today ... with 300 Whimbrels seen in first
two hours including a flock 110 on the beach at 6:00 am. The total to
date is 2,741 have been counted. The total number estimated to fly
along the Atlantic/Great Lakes basin to Hudson Bay is believed to be
about 22,000.
There is still a good possibility that tomorrow may be another good
Whimbrel day.
In late afternoon a single and group of 3 Whimbrels were moving around
to various rock jetties but they are easily spooked.
Directions:
The park is located off the south end of Kipling where it intersects
Lakeshore.
