Good morning birders,
Despite the south winds overnight, birding was a bit slower in the Park
again today, but the later migrants are showing up.
At the Tip this morning, a few RUDDY TURNSTONES were noted. There was a
fly-by of a RED-THROATED LOON.
Just up near the Tip Tram Loop, by the washrooms, a WHITE-EYED VIREO as
singing again today.
There was a report of a male SUMMER TANAGER in the West Beach Parking Lot,
but despite many searchers, it was not found again so far.
CANADA WARBLER, AMERICAN REDSTART, MOURNING WARBLER, and others are still
being reported in the Park.
Just into Tilden Woods from Shuster Trail, a CONNECTICUT WARBLER was
singing and occasionally seen.
The PROTHONOTARY WARBLERS are still the highlight of Woodland Nature Trail.
Also noted this morning on this trail, YELLOW-THROATED VIREO, and
YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER. A KENTUCKY WARBLER was reported from high up in
a tree near bridge B, but it soon dropped down out of sight.
No reports yet from other parts of the Park.
Good birding,
Friends of Point Pelee Hike Leaders, Pete Read, William Konze, and Tim
Arthur.
