Hello All,
Jean and I quickly checked the piers before I went into work. Unfortunately, without a scope due to the rush. Nothing like returning to work after a week's vacation.
As indicated by Ryan, 1000+ Dunlin! We observed one Black-bellied Plover on the west pier from the east pier. Some Least Sandpiper. Jean will be returning to the pier with our scope.
Directions listed in Ryan's original post below.
Good Birding,
Bob Highcock & Jean Hampson
St. Catharines, ON
There is a massive flock of shorebirds on the Dalhousie piers. Over 1000 dunlin. A flock of about 65 whimbrel and too many more to scan before work. Someone needs to get on these birds!!!
From qew head north on Ontario street. When Ontario meets Lakeshore turn left on lighthouse Rd.
