[Ontbirds] Dunlin still at presquile

2020-01-18 Thread rdmcrae--- via ONTBIRDS
The long staying dunlin is still at Owen point this morning. There is a small 
patch of algae about 30 m north of the Owen pt duck blind where it's not frozen 
and water washes the algae. This is possibly it's only remaining feeding site 
so please don't approach it closely or flush it from this spot. This bird first 
appeared on 15 Dec and has been present most days since.

[Ontbirds] Curlew sandpiper - no

2019-06-16 Thread rdmcrae--- via ONTBIRDS
Hi all
I am at Amherst Island with Tom Wheatley and we are looking for the curlew 
sandpiper. There is a bird here in basic plumage which I believe is a dunlin. 
It is all grey but clearly shows a divided rump patch and spotting in sides of 
breast and flanks. I don't know if this is the same bird seen earlier. Tom 
tells me photos are posted on ebird. Might want to check before you head out. 

There are 3 dunlin, 2 semi sandpiper,1 semi plover, 1white rump, 2 Wilton's 
phalarope here also at the Martin Edwards reserve on the south east corner of 
Amherst.
