There has been a flooded field here for several years and it does attract shorebirds. At about 7:30 p.m. this evening I had 44 Lesser Yellowlegs, 1 Solitary Sandpiper, 2 Pectoral Sandpipers, 21 peeps of which I believe 3 were Semi-palmated and the rest were Leasts. There were 2 Kildeer and 1 Semi-palmated Plover among them. One of the yellowlegs had what seemed to be breeding plumage from its throat to almost between its legs. The rest were in winter plumage. >From Toronto take the 404 north to the end at Green Lane. Go right (east) to >Woodbine Avenue and then turn left (north) to Ravenshoe Road and turn right >(east) for about 500 metres. The flooded area is to the north.
