Inspite of reduced visibliity due to morning fog and smog a total of 1641 Whimbrels were recorded between 5:30 and 11:30 am. This brings the 2-day total for the Etobicoke waterfront to 4533, a very significant number considering that the eastern arctic population which follows the Atlantic/Great Lakes routing in spring is estimated at 40,000!!!!) Also notable was a Little Gull. There were at least 15 people who helped spot and count the birds, among them Jean Irons and Richard Joos on who's behalf I post these results. Directions: Kipling runs directly into Colonel Sam Smith Park and adjacent Humber College Lakeshore campus, located west of Islington and east of Brown's Line south of the Q.E.W.
