Shorebirds have already started to head south...

Pictured above four shorebirds that were part of a group of about 30 shorebirds, representing 3-4 different species, on a small and shrinking, ephemeral rainwater pond in King Township, north of Toronto.   Shorebirds in this area, including the many sandpiper species, start to migrate south in early to mid-July.   Their colours and markings are more subdued in fall compared to the spring, and that adds a bit of extra effort in identifying them.
