Five BAIRD'S SANDPIPERS were still present on the exposed mudflats just east of Andrew Haydon Park this morning at 9am. The birds flew in from the east, foraged for about fifteen minutes, before being flushed by a passing OSPREY. When my wife and I left at around 9:45, we could not relocate the birds, but they are likely still in the area. No other sandpipers or plovers were observed.
Pat DIRECTIONS: Andrew Haydon Park is on Carling Avenue; the entrance is at Carling and Holly Acres. Be aware of the construction on Carling Avenue near the park. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
