Apologies for the late posting, but the birds were not refound after 20 minutes anyway.
Eight American Golden Plovers were seen in a muddy field on the 11th line near regional road 10 (Tottenham Rd.) at approx. 2:30 pm, in the rain. They were in various states of transition from summer to winter plumage. Other birds included 3 or 4 Killdeer and a handful of smaller unknown shorebirds - it was raining too hard to put up the scope. >From Tottenham Rd., heading north, turn right (east) on 11th line. On the >left (north) side there is a cornfield, and next to it is the field and >puddles where the plovers were found. Joyce Collier-Brown, Toronto Take Hwy 400 North to Hwy 89, go west to 15th Sideroad, south to 11th line. Turn right and scan every open field and puddle. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
