Point Pelee Park Bird Report May 19 A fairly good influx of migrants have been found today in the Park. Winds have switched to a more northerly flow, and it is now sunny.
Apparently the Kirtland's Warbler, was relocated just north of the location from yesterday, which is just a bit closer to the Group Campgrounds, still along the path north from the north end of the Visitor Center main parking lot. An adult Black-legged Kittiwake was reported from the tip, about 7:15 am. It soon left the area. Activity act the tip included more than 12 species of warbler, including a co-operative Worm-eating Warbler, several Canada Warblers, Tennessee, Blue-winged, N. Parula, and others. A few Philadelphia vireo were noted and also a Yellow-throated Vireo. Further north, just north of the Sparrow Field a Connecticut Warbler was found. Yellow-billed Cuckoo were reported north of the tram loop. Several Olive-sided Flycatchers were reported. One was along the Dike Road (E sideroad) at the north end of the Park. Another was along the Chinquapin Trail, south of the cemetary, and one more at Blue Heron Picnic area. Activity has been noted throughout the park, but nothing specific to report.
