There remains today  as of noon a Long-Billed Dowitcher seen at 10th Side Road in Saltfleet (directions below).  The bird has been seen on the East Side in the far corner on the Dofasco Trail. You have to walk east down the trail a bit.

Also seen here are:  Lesser yellowlegs  and a Dunlin.

Dress warm!

Directions:

10th road is located on the Niagara escarpment between Grimsby and Stoney Creek. Directions below are provided by a local Model Plane Flying place which is located on 10th Road.

From the QEW either Toronto or Niagara bound exit at fifty road and turn south directly up the mountain. Once on the top of the mountain you will come to a stop sign at Ridge road. Turn right approximately 1 km to the first road you come to on the left ( 10th road), turn left and follow approximately 1 km to field on left side.

From Mud St either direction turn north on 10th road to Green Mountain, slight jog right then left again on 10th. Go past quarry on left down a small hill field located on right side at bottom of hill.
