The Common Ringed Plover was still present in the same spot described below, at around 8 pm tonight when we left. It's probably worth looking for in the morning for anyone who didn't get a chance to see it today. Good luck to anyone searching for it!! Jeremy Bensette - Leamington, ON Birding/W

Another or the same plover was present along the St. Lawrence Aug 17-18 just west of Trois-Rivieres in Quebec. If the bird headed west at some point on Aug 18 or 19 that would have given it a day or more to reach the Toronto area. Brian Morin On Sat, Aug 20, 2016 at 11:21 AM, Jean Iron wrote:
