At the 224 St. location, plenty of shorebirds: Semipalmated Plover, Black-necked Stilts, Killdeer, Least, Semipalmated, Western and Stilt Sandpipers, Greater & Lesser Yellowlegs, both Short-billed and Long-billed Dowitchers, and Ruddy Turnstone. Also a few Least Terns.

Behind the fenced tanks across the road from Mt. Trashmore (where the Blue Grosbeaks were on the CBC 2 years ago) there were 2 White Pelicans, 2 vocal Long-billed Dowitchers, and a Cooper's Hawk.

Nothing noted around the racetrack area. Mowry Drive is closed off right at the packing house, so I couldn't view the area farther up where there had been some possible shorebird habitat.
