Today Margaret, Gunnar and I spent the morning on Hanlans Point and it was a very different result compared to yesterday, besides the following Shorebirds the best birds were a couple of Tennessee Warblers and a very nice Parula Warbler.
Shorebirds seen before the beach north of the " nudey beach" was disturbed by several nudists ;>)) that inhabit little enclaves up there for what reason I can't imagine ;>)) were:-
16 Spotted Sandpipers, 5 Whimbrel resting on the beach, 7 Killdeer, 22 Least Sandpipers, 19 Dunlin, 4 Semipalmated Plovers, 2 Ruddy Turnstones, 1 Sanderling, still in winter plummage, and 1 Solitary Sandpiper. We also observed Barn, Tree, Cliff and Rough-winged Swallows over the beach.
Your best bet for the next 10 days for Whimbrel would be at Colonel San Smith Park in Etobicoke.
