Flock
of 10 Whimbrel flying past the CN Tower in Toronto on 21 May 2015.
Photographed from the Whimbrel Watch at Colonel Sam Smith Park in
Toronto.
Whimbrel migrate through Toronto from the Eastern Shore of Virginia
and other locations on the US east coast to breeding areas around
Hudson Bay and across the Arctic to the Mackenzie River Delta in
Canada's Northwest Territories.
Come out and join us
as we
scan Lake Ontario for flocks of vocal Whimbrel, their
trilling calls often heard before they are seen,
every day from from
now until the end of May. Early morning is best. Peak days typically
those around May 24th. Directions: Take Kipling Avenue south of Lake
Shore Blvd to where it ends in a parking lot. Walk south to lake
where a short peninsula juts out into Lake Ontario. |
