I am fortunate enough that my daily commute takes me right past these great birds. The Glossy Ibises were still present at 8:00 am today in the same location (flooded area in a field). They are visible from the road and you do not need binoculars. They were unconcerned with farm traffic roaring by them and calmly continued foraging. Directions: Exit 401 at the Rodney exit and take Furnival Rd. south through Rodney to Talbot Rd (old Hwy 3) at New Glasgow. Continue south on Furnival Rd. aprox. 1/4 mile and the wet grassy field is on the east side.

Southerly winds, clear skies and warming temperatures helped the following species to the Park, most of which are being reported in singles or low numbers. Rose-breasted Grosbeak Indigo Bunting Scarlet Tanager Warbling Vireo Orchard Oriole Baltimore Oriole Grasshopper Sparrow Clay-colored Sparrow Great Crested Flycatcher Swainson's Thrush Marsh Wren House Wren Gray Catbird Common Yellowthroat Chestnut-sided Warbler Eastern Meadowlark In addition, other birds seen regularly include resident Carolina Wrens (one carrying nesting material near the Tip Train Stop), displaying Red-breasted Mergansers at the Tip, Red-bellied Woodpecker (also at the Tip), Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, Eastern Towhees along the west beach area, and numerous White-throated Sparrows. New migrants are expected daily over the next several days as the temperatures continue to rise and insect activity increases. Outside the Park, the NEOTROPIC CORMORANT has not been reported this morning. It was seen as late as 3:30 p.m. yesterday afternoon from Wheatley Harbour, but may have been present even later. As soon as it shows up again, we will report it.
