Good morning, The overcast morning turned into a nice sunny day with blue skies, despite the forecast, making for an unexpectedly nice day for being out on the trails (although that will change this afternoon). The good conditions for migration overnight have brought many new birds into the park. The Tip was a good place to be this morning with reports of LAUGHING GULL, DICKCISSEL, AMERICAN AVOCET, and AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN. There was a modest reverse migration taking place, and the woods were active with migrants. A report of a late FOX SPARROW came in from the Tip tram loop, and a GRASSHOPPER SPARROW along the East Beach. The forests of Tilden Woods and Woodland Nature Trail have similarly been alive with migrants, with YELLOW-THROATED VIREO, WHITE-EYED VIREO, and YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER being seen. The DeLaurier Homestead Trail has also been birdy this morning, with YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT, YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER, and the PRAIRIE WARBLER that was first seen yesterday afternoon. At least 18 species of warblers have been observed so far this morning including PROTHONOTARY WARBLER, BLACKPOLL WARBLER, BLUE-WINGED WARBLER, and GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER. We look forward to what the rest of the day has in store! Good birding, Pete, Quinten, Stewart, Max, Aaron, Asher, and Dale The 2026 Festival of Birds runs May 1 - 18.
