The flooded field on the north side of Ravenshoe Road between Woodbine Ave. and Kennedy Road is gradually losing its water and this is concentrating the shorebirds in the reduced puddles. They are moving out so that they are not obstructed by the cattail growth near the field's southern fence. 1 Short-billed Dowitcher 3 Stilt Sandpipers 3 Pectoral Sandpipers 1 Semi-palmated Sandpiper 20 plus Least Sandpipers 1 Semi-palmated Plover 7 plus Killdeers 9 plus Great Yellowlegs 50 plus Lesser Yellowlegs No ducks in the shallow water remaining. >From Toronto take the 404 north to the end at Green Lane.
