Post by: adonbirder on May 09, 2010, 07:42:16 PM

Hi went to Whitby today and saw a Little Blue Heron at the South Platform at Cranberry Marsh on Hall's Road, also seen here were Soras, Green Heron, Northern Waterthrush, White-crowned Sparrows, Pied-billed Grebes and other usual species. Then went by Reesor Pond on Reesor Road in Markham and refound the Wilson's Phalarope. Also here were Solitary Sandpiper, Spotted Sandpiper, Least Sandpiper, Lesser Yellowlegs and a Caspian Tern.
I have some photos from today at
