I managed to see the Marbled Godwit in Tommy Thompson Park together with a bunch of other shorebirds on Aug 10. On the same day I also saw the Red-necked Phalarope together with Stilt, Least, Semipalmated and Yellowlegs in Ashbridge's Bay Park. On my way back from Kingston on Sep 2nd, I dropped by Presqu'ile to look for a Western that was there for few days. I couldn't differentiate it from many Semipalmated though I looked for it for about hour and half. There were many Sanderlings, 50+ Semipalmated Plovers and a few Baird's in the beach area. I also looked for the Western in Hamilton Toll Gate Ponds - no luck. In between I have seen a few common ones in Downsview Park and also in G. Lord Ross Park. In recent times, Cell 2 in Tommy Thompson Park showing some good number of Shorebirds including Short and Long-billed Dowitchers that are continuing for a while now.

Here's a photo of a Baird's Sandpiper that I took yesterday at Ashbridges Bay. There were three or four of these beautifully streamlined sandpipers on the beach yesterday between the volleyball courts and the grassy area, and they allowed a fairly close approach. I also saw Least Sandpipers, Sanderlings, and Semi-palmated Plovers, the last of which were totally indifferent to pedestrians and Canada Geese.Baird's Sandpiper by Edward O'Connor, on Flickr

…….Did you photograph any of those shorebirds you saw, or have you
done it so many times that you didn't pursue the task?
Yes I did and here are photos of the Marbled Godwit and Red-necked Phalarope.
