Hi Birders, It’s a beautiful day in the park with many breeding birds and migrants. We have seen some reverse migration off the Tip with RED-HEADED WOODPECKER and BLUE-WINGED WARBLER being noted. A number of CANADA WARBLERS have been reported. Some in Tilden’s Woods and some on Woodland Trail. Also MOURNING, WILSON’S, and BLACKPOLL WARBLERS are becoming more frequent migrants. A pair of RED-HEADED WOODPECKERS are nesting in a large dead tree on Shuster Trail. SUMMER TANAGERS continue on Woodland Trail and a WHITE-EYED VIREO was seen at DeLaurier Trail. PROTHONOTARY WARBLERS are showing nesting behaviours along Tilden’s Woods, Shuster Trail, Woodland Trail, and DeLaurier Trail. 24 warbler species were noted throughout the park today. Outside the park, WHITE-FACED IBIS, HUDSONIAN WHIMBREL (5), and BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO are being seen at Hillman Marsh. Some AMERICAN WHITE PELICANs have also been reported flying along the Point Pelee shoreline and at Hillman Marsh. Good birding, Pete, Mark, and Felix The 2026 Festival of Birds runs May 1 - 18.
