Hi folks,

Huge concentrations of shorebirds, mostly Dunlin, along the Long Point Causeway this AM. 5,000 Dunlin, 100+ Black-bellied Plover, American Golden Plover, Hudsonian Godwit, assorted others.

1500 Dunlin and a Red Knot on Bluff Bar yesterday. https://ebird.org/checklist/S153745586

I’ve never seen anything like it in southern Ontario - reminiscent of James Bay.

Good birding.
