Today's watch was a short (and chilly!) one and lasted from 6:00 am to
noon ... with rising winds and high waves there was only one Whimbrel
seen: on the main rock jetty just after 6:00 am and none was seen in
migration. One small flock each of Dunlin and Semipalmated Sandpiper
were on the beach in front of the two benches early this morning.
I highly recommend checking the daily journey of the each of the five
Whimbrels which were satellite tagged on one of their main east coast
staging areas, coastal Virginia this spring at:
http://www.wildlifetracking.org/index.shtml?project_id=369.
Directions: the park is located south of the intersection of Kipling
and Lakeshore and south Humber College campus.
