Presqu'ile Provincial Park - Gull Island. An uncommon to rare species in the park. They might get one every year or every other year in fall migration.

Sue Bishop: Excellent. One of my favorites.
BrianMorin: Mine too. One or two had been seen off and on for a couple of weeks but it took me 3 trips to the park with 5 visits to the island before it worked out. In fact, I had given up on the last trip and was going to head back empty handed when I got it.

Oshawa - Had great fun with a couple of very obliging regional rarities that allowed very close approach. Actually they were the ones approaching us, not the other way around. At times they were as close as a metre. If these birds are ever reported we'd expect to check specific fields, especially sod farms but in this case they were feeding on algae-covered rocks along a beach on Lake Ontario.

Chris: Fabulous. This colour always stands out to me as unique for some reason.
BrianMorin: The buffy colour stands out. There is a similar colour on parts of a Baird's but it is not as prominent as on this species.

Presqu'ile Provincial Park - Only one in the area we were in and more elusive than the other shorebirds.

A rare bird alert for this bird. I spent a couple of hours at high tide on two days at Boundary Bay and was rewarded on the second day.
