Hello Ontbirders

Overall is was good with 1000+ Least Sandpipers and small of numbers of
Lesser Yellowlegs and a few Short-billed Dowitcher, Pectoral Sandpiper
and Wilson's Phalarope. Ruddy Ducks were observed at three different
lagoons.
The highlight was a flock of 250+ Lapland Longspurs, many in
breeding plumage beside the St. Albert Sewage lagoon.
