I am looking at 3 distant dowitchers with a big flock of shorebirds on the south side of Concession Rd 2 Sunnidale, just west of the intersection with McKinnon Road. This is along the south side of the Minesing swamp west of Barrie. The dowitchers appear to be Long-billed Dowitchers, as expected given the date.
Take McKinnon Rd north from the intersection with County Road 90. Follow McKinnon to the intersection with Concession Rd 2 Sunnidale and turn left. After a few hundred metres the road is flooded. Park here and scan to the south. The dowitchers are with a group of shorebirds including both yellowlegs, Wilsons Snipe, and Dunlin.
