Good morning birders,
For our final day of the Bird Festival there is still good bird activity.
Many migrant warblers have been noted in a number of places, including
BLACKPOLL, CANADA, MAGNOLIA, PALM, BLACKBURNIAN, and more. A number of
CUCKOO have been seen as well. Redbud Trail and Tilden Woods seems to have
good pockets of birds. Other areas of the Park have not reported in yet.
At the Tip a RED KNOT was seen. Other shorebirds there include RUDDY
TURNSTONE, SANDERLING and DUNLIN.
The YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT located in the Cactus Field was seen again today.
There was a WHITE-EYED VIREO again along the Redbud Trail.
BLACK TERNS are back on the Marsh Boardwalk trail.
At Hillman Marsh in the shorebird cell a GLOSSY IBIS put in an appearance.
Thanks to all who attended the Point Pelee NP Birding Festival.
And thanks to all the volunteers, hike leaders and all staff who helped to
make it a great year.
Good birding,
Pete, Aaron, Felix, Julie and Claire
