I found three Purple Sandpipers resting on a large flat algae-covered rock at the south tip of the Douglas Kennedy headland (aka. peninsula) of Lakefront Promenade Park, Mississauga at 3:30 pm this afternoon. There were also three American Pipits feeding in the outflow at easternmost end of the park at an muddy outwash of a storm sewer adjacent to the park maintenance office and opposite the former outflow the now de-commissioned Lakeview Generating Station.
Directions: Lakefront Promenade runs south off Lakeshore about three blocks east of Cawthra and west of Dixie Road. To search for the Purple Sandpipers, park at the south end of the most southwesterly parking lot opposite the entrance to the Port Credit Yacht Club; it's a short walk over the spruce-covered knoll to the point. The first parking lot off Lakeshore is close where the pipits were: walk east to the end of the boardwalk.
