Presqu'ile Provincial Park - I had to make an extra effort for this bird. Side light was harsh on the beach in late afternoon so several of us rolled up our pants and went into the lake for shots with much better light. The water was only about 5" deep and the waves weren't too bad but the pants still got wet. They stayed that way the rest of the trip back (over three hours) but at least it was warm. :)

Presqu'ile Provincial Park - a good bird for us in the East. We didn't know the bird had been sighted in the morning. Note the droop at the end of the longer bill (shorter in Semipalmated Sandpiper) and the bit of rusty on the scapulars. I didn't realize until two days later that the bird reported earlier in the day had different markings so a second bird.

Ottawa - When a Peregrine swooped onto the beach, the shorebirds froze. This yellowlegs dropped into the water (which was only three inches deep) and at one point was barely above the surface, with only part of the head and back exposed. It remained in this position for 20 minutes after the falcon had moved on.

Upper Canada Migratory Bird Sanctuary - Ingleside
This was the best I could do with a species that has been a tough one for me to get. In Montreal and Toronto there are some locations that offer good views but we aren't as fortunate in spotting this uncommon species.
