Hello all, Though rain threatened, the storm went by to the north so birders are having a pleasant time here on Point Pelee. Bird activity is steady, with a good amount of bird song. A KIRTLAND’S WARBLER was found about halfway down the West Beach Trail between West Beach Parking lot to the halfway tram stop. At the Tip this morning a MOURNING WARBLER was sighted. As well, people reported a YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT in the Tip woods. Farther north in Woodland Trail, a WILSON’S WARBLER and RED-HEADED WOODPECKER have been found and there are PROTHONOTARY WARBLERS at bridge F. The same species found in Woodland Trail have been noted in Tilden Trail. Two PROTHONOTARY WARBLERS have also been noted along Shuster Trail near the lake. A YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT and MOURNING WARBLER were seen in Tilden Trail. There have been several reports of GRAY-CHEEKED THRUSH in the Park. About 21 species of warbler have been reported so far today. Outside the Park the WHITE-FACED IBIS is still being reported at Hillman’s Shorebird Habitat. Good birding, Pete, Mark, and Felix The 2026 Festival of Birds runs May 1 - 18.
