Don Barnett, Jean Iron, Mark Field, Tim McCarthy and I spent 12 hours
minutes today
starting at 5:30 am
and recorded 202 Whimbrels in 8 groups, all between 5:30 and 10:30 am.
Hope, a Whimbrel with a satellite transmitter, flew over Lake Ontario
very
close to Toronto either yesterday or this morning and is now approaching
Moosonee and Ontario's James Bay Coast. You can follow her migration
