An influx of birders to the park this morning were greeted with many new migrants. At the tip it was fairly quiet, however a RUDDY TURNSTONE and a flock of BLACK SCOTERS were notable. Tilden Woods trail was alive with warblers; many of which were high in the treetops. Highlights include BLUE-WINGED WARBLER, a GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER on the first slough on Shuster and an early BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO behind the VC added to the excitement. A diverse array of at least 22 warblers have been noted so far this morning, with many CAPE-MAY, NASHVILLE, and a few early BLACKPOLL. Miscellaneous sightings around the park include a SUMMER TANAGER that was spotted on the season trail between Dunes and Sleepy Hollow, a PRAIRIE WARBLER on West Beach Footpath, and a perched AMERICAN BITTERN on the Woodland Trail near the Half-way stop was another exceptional find. Birders report that the northern end of the park is birdy. -- Good Birding, Alan Watson, Aaron Brisebois, Chris Earley, Dale Wenger, Dana Latour, Emma Burbidge, Eric Baldo, Gabriel Foley, Jean Iron, Justin Peter, Kyle Horner, Mike Kent, Pete Read, Quinten Wiegersma, Stewart MacDonald, Tim Arthur, William Konze The 2024 Festival of Birds runs May 1 - 22.
