Folks There were 7 juv. Buff-breasted Sandpipers on the Sod Farm on Lake St. George Rd just to the east of Highway 17 which runs north/south at this point. They were present as late as 5:30pm today Aug.20/2010. Although this species is a fairly regular late summer migrant across the river at Whitefish Point, Michigan it is a quite rare find on this side of the river and these are first ones I have seen in Algoma District. It looks like a banner year for this sp. with all the reports from S. Ontario and many reports from the UP of Michigan.
