We checked Aylmer Wildlife Management Area at 1:30 p.m. today [May 15].
The American Avocet reported this morning was still feeding in the open
at the NE corner of the ponds.
We didn't see the Whimbrel that were reported this morning.
We did see 110+ Short-billed Dowitchers, a very large number for this
location.
Other shorebirds were 2 Dunlin and 5 Least Sandpipers.
Directions:
Aylmer WMA is northeast of Aylmer in Elgin County. From Hwy 401 drive
south from Exit 203 on Elgin Road / Hwy 73 which becomes Imperial Road
once you are in Elgin County. Turn left/east on College Line. Turn
right/south on Hacienda Road and drive to the south end of the Ontario
Police College. Turn left/east and follow the laneway to the viewing
