Time to get back to our gardening for us Whimbrel watchers as it looks like the big flocks are all through. Thanks to Marc Miron for yesterday's addition of 80 birds (which was substantiated by added details and a photograph) and to Vivek Kumar for 3 more and to George Parker for just being there. On the watch today we saw no Whimbrels but did have 5 Common Loons, 21 Ruddy Turnstones, 56 Dunlin, 3 Semipalmated Sandpipers, a Greater Yellowlegs and an American Bittern (fly-over). To aid your Whimbrel withdrawal you may look at this website http://www.seaturtle.org/tracking/index.shtml?keyword=whimbrel And thanks to all those who helped us track this exciting event. We'll see you all in September for the High Park Hawk Watch.
