Point Pelee NP Migration Report -May 15

Festival of Birds

Thu, May 15, 2025 3:18 PM

Good morning birders.

The rain has held off and birders are locating many species in the Park.

About 20 species of warbler have been noted. That includes Blackpoll and
Canada Warblers.

At the Tip, about a dozen AMERICAN WHITE PELICANs were on the sand and in
the water. Also noted was a 1st summer LITTLE GULL and there was a report
of a 3rd cycle CALIFORNIA GULL. There were a few shorebirds also, including
RUDDY TURNSTONE, DUNLIN and a RED KNOT. Several BLACK TERNs were seen
flying past the tip.

In the south winds, during the Reverse Movements (migration) a EURASIAN
COLLARED DOVE was noted along with everything from a GNATCATCHER to BLUE
JAYS.

A number of YELLOW-BILLED and BLACK-BILLED CUCKOOS have been noted in the
Park today, including in Tilden Woods, Chinquapin Oak, West Beach, and Post
Woods Trails.

Just where Tilden Woods meets Shuster Trail there were two CANADA WARBLERs.
There was also a WHITE-EYED VIREOS and a GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER seen on
Redbud Trail.

Good birding!
