Hey there I was able to re-find the Curlew Sandpiper this morning found by Mike Cadman yesterday. The bird was initially found about 1km upstream of the Broadway St Bridge but flushed with some Killdeer and is now about 350m upstream from the bridge on a rocky island in the middle of the river.

Directions from Guelph take 124 east out of Guelph then turn left  and go north on to 26(this becomes broadway st) take the last right before the bridge on to side rd 10. You can park her and walk to the rivers edge or continue for about 300m and park at the edge of the rd by an opening in the trees to get down to the water.

Amazing find Mike!

Good birding!
