Just a heads up for any GTA birders who may be in the area and interested - I found a juvenile Red Knot at Claireville Reservoir a short time ago.
A bit of an unusual record for Toronto, considering the general lack of shorebird habitat in and around the city. The bird was feeding in the mudflats along with Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs as well as Killdeer. Claireville Reservoir is located on Finch Ave., just south of Steeles. Access via the Wild Water Kingdom gate on the east side of Finch, drive to the northeast corner of the large gravel parking lot and walk down to the reservoir. The largest mudflats are looking to the south/southeast.
