Late this afternoon along with the usual Killdeer we had 4 Spotted Sandpipers, 1 Semipalmated Sandpiper, 1 Greater Yellowlegs, 2 Lesser Yellowlegs and 1 Short-billed Dowitcher.
Also 2 Bonapartes Gulls and 1 Blue-winged Teal.

 Edit;
After reviewing our photos the Semipalmated turns out to be a Least Sandpiper.

It was nice seeing you guys again...thanks for the heads up on the Dowitcher.  Great bird for Downsview.  The Bonies too.   I got caught in the rainfall but decided to power through it and after it lifted all the song-birds came out including many E. Kingbirds, some B. Orioles, a couple of Philly Vireos and even a couple of Chestnut-sided Warblers which took me a while to figure out in the 1st winter outfit they were wearing.   :lol:

I could not re-find the Dowitcher or the BW Teal after the rainfall so they may have flown off.  The Yellow-legs were still there.
