We found these two birds at Dowsview Park.
Sorry about image quality as crops are severe.

You don\'t need to remember the day, just remember the moment.

1. Least Sandpiper (juvenile)
2. Looks like an American Golden-Plover. Great picture of the open wings to see that the "armpit" is grey rather than black (as it is for Black-bellied Plover). Very nice find!

That's a great find!  Make sure you report it to ebird...the Golden Plover I'm sure is new to the park.
