Today I saw a Ruddy Turnstone at Sibbald Provincial Park on Lake Simcoe near Sutton. Seems late for a spring migrant on this first day of summer. It could be a failed breeder and early fall migrant. Reports indicate a very late cold spring in parts of the Central and High Arctic. However, Southampton Island in northern Hudson Bay had an early or normal melt.
