POINT PELEE BIRD REPORT for MAY 11 (Tuesday)
There was a good "fallout" of birds today. The Tip itself was very active.
There was some 20+ species of warbler were recorded. This included Canada,
Orange-crowned, Northern Parula, Cape May, Blackpoll, Hooded, Wilson's. The
west trail, near the solar panel at the tip, had Grasshopper, Henslow's and
Clay-colored Sparrows, and there was a report of a Le Conte's as well.
Philadelphia Vireo was also noted. A N. Mockingbird was flying about.
Offshore from the Tip was a flock of 13 Surf Scoters. Common Terns are now
abundant at the Tip, with a few Forster's Terns still present.
On the Woodland Trail, just south of the Visitors Centre, a Le Conte's Sparrow
was found this morning.
A report has just come in of a Prothonotary Warbler in the north part of
Tilden's Woods (at the wet area).
No report today of yesterday's Harris's Sparrow, seen at the DeLaurier House
and adjacent old road bed beside the large brush pile.
Late yesterday a large flock of shorebirds assembled in the wet fields along
the North Dike Road --- the flock contained 370 Short-billed Dowitchers.
Good bird'n
