Festival of Birds
Fri, May 9, 2025 5:58 PM

Good morning birders.
A wonderful sunny day at Point Pelee and birding has been fairly steady.
There has been a number of interesting sightings. A couple of RED-HEADED
WOODPECKERS were noted, one near the start of the Shuster Trail and another
near the Tip. Several PROTHONOTARY WARBLERS have been found. One was down
in the slough near the end of Shuster Trail. Others were noted in Tilden
Woods and still others see on the Woodland Trail.
YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT has been reported just north of the Visitor Centre
Parking lot and just onto the Post Wood Trail.
There has been a report of a OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER from the Redbud Trail.
A bit farther south on the trail people saw a YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT. And
down on the Post Wood Trail, a few birders came upon a GOLDEN-WINGED
WARBLER. Once again a GRASSHOPPER SPARROW  has been seen on the West Beach
parking lot. WHITE-EYED VIREO were seen on Shuster Trail and near the Tip.

Good birding,
Quinten;, Pete, Aaron, and Stewart
