[Ontbirds] Purple Sandpipers at Lakefront Promenade Park, Mississauga

[Wayne Renaud]

I found three Purple Sandpipers resting on a large flat algae-covered rock
at the south tip of the Douglas Kennedy headland (aka. peninsula) of
Lakefront Promenade Park, Mississauga at 3:30 pm this afternoon.  There were
also three American Pipits feeding in the outflow at easternmost end of the
park at an muddy outwash of a storm sewer adjacent to the park maintenance
office and opposite the former outflow the now de-commissioned Lakeview
Generating Station.

Directions:
Lakefront Promenade runs south off Lakeshore about three blocks east of
Cawthra and west of Dixie Road.  To search for the Purple Sandpipers, park
at the south end of the most southwesterly parking lot opposite the entrance
to the Port Credit Yacht Club; it's a short walk over  the spruce-covered
knoll to the point.  The first parking lot off Lakeshore is close where the
pipits were: walk east to the end of the boardwalk.
