The juvenile BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER was still hanging around this afternoon on the mud flats between Ottawa Beach and Britannia Pier. It was quite cooperative, wandering close enough for great looks. I last saw it at 3 p.m. right at the bottom of Scrivens, foraging with a flock of Semipalmated Plovers and one Semipalmated Sandpiper.
Directions: From Carling between Pinecrest and Bayshore, turn north onto Scrivens and park near the end of the street. Walk north and across the bike path to reach the river.
