This is one bird I can miss if I don't visit the Carden Alvar later in the season. We saw two Upland Sandpipers today in a wet plowed field on the 10th Concession beside the Dofasco Trail. The birds were from the road as well. North of the trail, east of the road. Directions from 50 Road and Queen Elizabeth Way. Travel south on 50 Road to the top of Escarpment at the first road Ridge Road turn right (west) and travel to the first left 10 Concession. Go south about .5 kilometers. The birds were in the field on the left just before the railway tracks. -- Mark Cranford cranford AT allstream DOT net Mississauga, Ontario
