Here are the two species of Sandpipers I got to see.
The Spotted Sandpiper, and the Solitary Sandpiper. Both very cool looking.
They are very nice! The sandpipers that I have seen are Sanderling, Least Sandpiper, Solitary Sandpiper, Spotted Sandpiper, Stilt Sandpiper, Dunlin, White-rumped Sandpiper, and Semipalmated Sandpiper.

Very cool! I’m hoping to see more Sandpiper species next year.
I wish you luck!!! They can be tricky to find, and I always drive to the lakes to see them. Most mudflats should have some during migration!

By the way, are you on eBird? You can sign up to get emails when someone sees something you haven’t in your area.

That’s a hard one to answer! But my favorite songbird is probably the Yellow-throated Warbler.
I still have yet to see one of them! One of my favorites that I have seen is the Trumpeter Swan.

Cool! I’m hoping to see a Swan someday.
If you ever come up to Southern Ontario, Lake Ontario is really good for Trumpeter and Mute Swans. On migration, Lake Erie has thousands of Tundra Swans that come through.

I was looking at the range map for Canada and the Yellow-throated Warbler is not located up there.
No, it is not, It does show up each year though (As a rarity)

Very interesting!
I hope I am not bragging about Onatio to much, but we are in the middle of a migration flyby. It is not hard to see 100+ in just a couple of hours during May at Long Point or Point Pelee.
