This afternoon the BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER first reported by Richard Waters
near Britannia Beach was present between 2-3pm. I first located it in a wet
grassy area to the west of the rocky shoal foraging with SEMIPALMATED PLOVERS;
later it flew closer to the pier at Britannia Beach and moved westward again.
Two AMERICAN PIPITS were also in the area.
Good birding!Pat
DIRECTIONS:Most easily accessed via Britannia Beach; from the 417W, turn right
onto Greenbank Road and follow to the end, going straight at the intersection
with Carling Avenue. Continue straight and park at Britannia Beach. The
mudflats can be accessed through several small pathways to the left or west of
the beach.
