Hi All, I know this is a little late but I haven't seen any other notes on this bird. I went out to "Sobey's" Pond, in south Whitby, on Sunday afternoon and immediately found the juvenile Long-billed Dowitcher actively feeding in the pond, no other birds were seen at this spot.
Earlier on Sunday, I did a quick walk out to the drawn-down first inner cell at the Leslie Street Spit and met up with Andrew Jano and another birder where we saw an American Golden-Plover, a few each of Black-bellied Plover, Pectoral Sandpiper, Dunlin, Semipalmated Sandpiper, 2 Sanderling, and 1 Semipalmated Plover. Cheers & good birding, Frank Pinilla Toronto, ON DIRECTIONS: "Sobey's" Pond is in south Whitby, along Victoria Street (runs parallel to Hwy 401, to the south). The small pond where the bird has been hanging out, is just north of Victoria, off of Montecorte Street and in front of an Automobile Parts distribution centre, there is another pond along Nordeagle Ave, in front of the Sobey's distribution centre, but I only had Canada Geese there on Sunday. Leslie Street Spit (Tommy Thompson Park) - is at the south end of Leslie Street, go south from Lakeshore Ave. Park is only open on weekends and holidays, be prepared for a long walk. The drawn-down inner cell is just after the split in the road, I took the road to the right but it can be viewed from either road.
