Good morning birders!

The overnight rains and cool weather gave way to a beautiful morning at
Point Pelee, and patient birders were rewarded with some hard-earned
highlights.

A BLUE-WINGED WARBLER put on a show at the entrance to Woodland Nature
Trail, and farther along the continuing WORM-EATING WARBLER entertained
birders.  A PROTHONOTARY WARBLER was very cooperative, and Woodland also
produced a WHITE-EYED VIREO, HOODED WARBLER, and a LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH on
the short loop.

The West Beach Footpath saw a SEDGE WREN, and while the tip was relatively
quiet, it saw some notable passers-by in a PEREGRINE FALCON, a LONG-TAILED
DUCK and two LITTLE GULLS.  A RED-THROATED LOON flew by the West Beach
parking area.

Farther north, a YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT gave excellent views at DeLaurier
Homestead.  RED-HEADED WOODPECKERS were apparent at several locations
today, as were numerous YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKERS.

Good Birding

Justin Peter, Jean Iron, Kyle Horner, Josh Vandermeulen, Mike Kent and Emma
Burbidge
