Good morning Birders,
This morning was a good day as migration continues. With the southern winds
we again had a good reverse migration movements. Many species were
involved, namely residents such as the cardinals, blackbird sp, and so on.
Also flocks of BLUE JAYS and CEDAR WAXWINGS. Also noted at the Tip were
such species as a first summer LITTLE GULL, SANDERLING, RED-HEADED
WOODPECKER, female SUMMER TANAGER, NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD, MEADOWLARK sp.,
and many warblers and other species.
Farther north in Woodland Nature Trail a variety of warblers and other
species were noted. A GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER, several MOURNING WABLERS,
YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO, WILSON'S WARBLER, WHITE-EYED VIREO and CANADA
WARBLER. A few BLACKPOLL WARBLERS have been noted from various places as
well.
We have had no reports yet from farther north in the Park, and there have
been not sightings of the MISSISSIPPI KITE from yesterday.
Good birding,
From Friends of Point Pelee and the Quest Nature Tours leaders, Justin
Peter, Pete Read, Gabriel Foley, Mike Kent, and Alan Watson.
