It is nice that so many people got to see the upland sandpipers near the intersection of 3rd St. and 5th Ave. in west St. Catharines after my original posting.
It was not so nice that I found it necessary to apologise to the people who live across from the field for the actions of some of my fellow birders. Please keep in mind that this is a rural area, with little accommodation for roadside parking. Please also keep in mind that people live and work along these roads and do not appreciate roads being blocked and people tramping through private property. If you have to park a distance away, then so be it. I am sure that the Ontbirds coordinator will echo these sentiments. Also, I was informed that the sandpipers have been breeding in this area for at least 4 years. Rick Johnston [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
