Hello Birders:
On May 11th at 10:30am. a fellow birder and I found a Piping Plover
mixed in with about 300 other shorebirds. From the east side viewing
platform look southwest toward a raised rock pile in the centre of the
mud flats .A Spotting scope and some searching are needed. Other
shorbirds present were. Wilson's Phalarope 1, Black Bellied Plover 1,
Least Sandpipers, Pectoral Sandpipers, Semipalmated Sandpipers, Dunlin,
Semipalmated Plovers, Greater Yellowlegs, Lesser Yellowlegs, and 5 Great
Egrets.
Directions:
Exit from the 401 at Harmony rd; Exit(419) in Oshawa. Go south on
Farewell st. to Colonel Sam Drive. Go east on Colonel Sam Drive to the
parking lot at the GM office building. Park in the west parking lot
close to the marsh. The east side platform is located here.
