Hey everyone,
Let me preface this message by saying that observing most any shorebird other than a Snipe, Woodcock, Solitary, or Spottie is considered a "fallout" here. Haha! Today, ahead of threatening thunderstorms this afternoon, I checked a few locations for shorebirds and was not disappointed. At Pine Lake in West Guilford (W of village of Haliburton), Brian Pfrimmer and I observed 2 Black-bellied Plovers, 9 Semipalmated Plovers, and 2 Semipalmated Sandpipers that had landed on a sandy spit near the north end of the lake. Looking at eBird records, the BBPL and SESA might be first records for the county. SEPL has only been recorded a few times. Although expected birds south of here, they are all good finds around here. Good birding, Ed Poropat Haliburton, ON _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
