Blayne and Jean Farnan called to let me know they were looking at 44 Whimbrel on a rocky shoal along the Lake Erie shoreline at the foot of Morgan’s Point Road in Wainfleet. In less than an hour I arrived there and was getting ready to photograph the birds from the shoreline when an additional 90 Whimbrel landed on the same shoal. The birds were counted several times and the total of 134 was deemed correct.
Directions: From Port Colborne take Highway 3 southwest perhaps 5 km to Golf Course Road. Turn left here and drive to the bottom of the road and continue as it bends to the right and joins Lakeshore Road in Burnaby. Turn left at the next road (Morgan’s Point Road) and continue to the end of the road to the Lake Erie shoreline. The birds were directly ahead on the shoal. Good luck for anyone going to look for these birds. Kayo Kayo Roy 13 Kinsman Court. Fonthill, ON.
