[Ontbirds]Ruff still at Minesing & Holland Landing S.L

[Dave Worthington]

The 2 Ruff were easily seen this morning directly across from the house with
the Nottawasaga Tree sign that is just past the new Hydro right of way. I
drove as far as I could up the road, it’s very muddy and parts are covered
over by water, and walked the rest of the way to the end but was not able to
find the Hudsonian Godwit. There was a Solitary Sandpiper there among the
Gr. & L Yellowlegs at the end.

On the way home I stopped by the Holland Landing S.L. since I hadn’t heard
of any reports from there. The first 3 cells are full up and the last cell
is about ½ full. The only shorebird I saw was the Spotted Sandpiper and
other then that there was about 10 ducks in total (Mallards, Shovelers & 1
Wood Duck).
