Just after noon today there were 2 Whimbrel, over 2 dozen Ruddy Turnstone, 15 Dunlin and 1 White-rumped Sandpiper on the rock pile just off the mouth of the Wheatley Harbour in Wheatley, ON. The only shorebird at the Hillman Marsh Shorebird Cell, which I visited on the way to the Wheatley Harbour, was 6 Semi-palmated Plover. No sign of the previously reported Western Sandpiper. Wheatley Harbour is located at the south end of Chatham-Kent Road 1.
