The sun is out again and it looks like there was a large amount of birds
that migrated overnight because the park is very birdy! The Tip was quiet
first thing in the morning but most of the trails have lots singing, mainly
up high in the canopy.
This morning a juvenile LITTLE GULL was seen at the tip for the fourth day
in a row.
West Beach has produced PRAIRIE WARBLER, CLAY-COLOURED SPAROW and multiple
HOODED WARBLERS.
GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER and YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT appeared in Tilden Woods.
ACADIAN FLYCATCHER was heard and seen on Redbud Trail, as well as
continuing WHITE-EYED VIREOS.
BLACK-BILLED CUCKOOs have been reported on both Woodland and White Pine.
And finally, the trails are loud with TENNESSEE WARBLERS, with more and
more BLACKPOLL and BAY-BREASTED WARBLERS arriving, and a few CANADA and
WILSON’S WARBLERS sprinkled throughout the park.
Happy birding!
