Title: Re: Unlocking the Secrets of migration Post by: BIGFRANK on 06-Mar-12, 12:52:46 PM Every year in Toronto, we await The Whimbrel Watch at Colonel Sam Smith Park in Etobicoke(westend of Toronto). There is a population of about 16000 Whimbrel in Hudsons Bay in the north of Ontario. Of that 16000 some years 8000 or more are seen from Col Sam flying back to their Hudsons Bay breeding grounds after wintering as far away as South America. Occassionally(less so since Col Sam has become dog off leash walking heaven grrrrr) some would stop off. Often they keep right on flying. Ive never been fortunate enough to hit a mass migration day, but always enjoy the Whimbrel we do see and the gang of folks that gather. Its always around our May 24th longweekend.
