Good Evening All, As of 5:30pm this evening, the Willet was still present on 8th Line in Milton, north of Britannia Road. It remains in a flooded field, along with Greater Yellowlegs and about 6 Green-winged Teal.
The view is a fair ways from the road and a scope would be ideal. A small drive on the west side of the road allows for parking, but a hike up the dirt road might be needed for a close look. Directions: 401 to Milton, exit at James Snow Parkway and follow JSP south to Derry Road. Head east on Derry to 8th Line. Head south on 8th Line. Pull-off on west side of road; look in flooded field on west side.

The individual was feeding on the grass amidst a group of 15 -20 Canada Geese. For the record, yes, I am sure it wasn't a captive of the zoo! Directions: 401 East from Toronto to Meadowvale Road. North on Meadowvale Road and follow signs to the zoo. Admission required! Cheers!
