A night of south winds has helped push some new birds into the park, although songbird numbers are a tad underwhelming. Flycatchers especially, appear to be more numerous, with many singing EASTERN WOOD-PEWEE this morning. At the tip, a LITTLE GULL was observed, along with a few shorebird species including DUNLIN, SANDERLING and SEMIPALMATED PLOVER. At Sparrow Field, presumably the same COMMON NIGHTHAWK as yesterday was observed roosting on the west side of the road. An OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER was also seen well. 24 warbler species have been seen or heard in the park so far this morning. An ACADIAN FLYCATCHER was reported from the Tip Tram Loop. Tilden Woods Trail appears to be one of the more "birdy" areas in the park, with MOURNING and CANADA being two of the more unusual species reported here. Another OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER was seen at Cactus Field. -- Good Birding, Alan Watson, Aaron Brisebois, Chris Earley, Dale Wenger, Dana Latour, Emma Burbidge, Eric Baldo, Gabriel Foley, Jean Iron, Justin Peter, Kyle Horner, Mike Kent, Pete Read, Quinten Wiegersma, Stewart MacDonald, Tim Arthur, William Konze The 2024 Festival of Birds runs May 1 - 22.
