Good morning birders!

Today was overcast but there was still a slight SW wind. This seemed to
allow for a good Reverse Movement of birds off the Tip which continued for
a number of hours. Birds involved included many orioles, and some warbler
species. A few RED-HEADED WOODPECKER, SCARLET TANAGER, 2 NORTHERN
MOCKINGBIRD, BOBOLINK, CANADA WARBLER, BLACKPOLL WARBLER, and so on.

Also noted on the Tip were a BLUE-WINGED WARBLER, and INDIGO BUNTING.

Our wood warbler total so far today is 26 species.

Up along West Beach Trail towards half-way to the half-way stop, opposite
to the Sparrow Field, a number of birds were noted including GRASSHOPPER
SPARROW, PRAIRIE WARBLER, CERULEAN WARBLER and ACADIAN FLYCATCHER. Also
seen either along that path or near the Tip, another ACADIAN FLYCATCHER was
seen and heard calling and a number of YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHERS were
seen.

Moving north into Woodland Nature Trail, birders reported good activity
including PROTHONOTARY WARBLER, CANADA WARBLER, NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH, and
WHITE-EYED VIREO.

We did hear of a YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO up at the Madbin Jina picnic area
across from DeLaurier.

A YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT was noted in the Cemetery.

We have not heard of any recent reports from Hillman Marsh.

Good Birding,

Friends of Point Pelee Hike Leaders, including William Konze, Tim Arthur,
Emma Burbidge, Pete Read, Dana Latour, and Aaron Brisebois.
