There is no shorebird in any of the Lake Ontario sites yet- Whitby Harbour, Hydro Marsh or Frenchman's Bay

I visited Frenchman's Bay in mid-July, and water levels were then extremely high. How is it now? Are the northern mudflats accessible, past the creek? Thanks.

Frenchman's Bay- Water levels are still high. At least another week before the water levels will be low enough for shorebirds.
Whitby Harbour- The water levels have droped enough that there are mudflats east of the bridge.
