Birders wishing to see the bird can wait on the
driveway 30 meters to the east where we are welcome or
from the road. Up until Wednesday the oriole attended
the feeders at 283 every half hour. With warming
temperatures, this pattern has changed. The bird
returns to roost at 283 but spends the day elsewhere
including the house at 253 (twice yesterday at
least)and possibly to feeders on the next concession
south. The people at 253 have not forbidden birders
nor requested secrecy to my knowledge. Other birds in
the area have included a Great Tit on the 18th, a
peregrine, Sandhill Crane, and Clay-colored Sparrow.
PLEASE MAINTAIN HIGHEST BIRDING ETHICAL STANDARDS IF
TRYING TO SEE THIS BIRD. DO NOT BLOCK DRIVEWAYS OR
TRESPASS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. ALWAYS BE FRIENDLY,
COURTEOUS AND HELPFUL TO RESIDENTS IN THE AREA.

Strong easterlies prevail. Not many new migrants today, but large groups of
migrants persist in the park, mainly located in the less windy areas, such
as Tilden's Woods and along the west side.
In Tilden's Woods, about 12 species of Warbler including a single male
Prothonotary, several Canada, Mourning, Cape May, Parula, and Tennessee
Warblers. Also an Eastern Screech-Owl and a perched Coopers Hawk
provided birders with great looks.
Along the main road, south of the Visitor Centre a Mourning Warbler, and a
Worm-eating Warbler were located.
A White-eyed Vireo was found north of the tram loop at the tip, along the
west beach trail.
At Hillman Shorebird Habitat today, reports of 6 Little Gull, White-rumped
and Baird's Sandpiper, and Wilson's Phalarope.
Good Birding,
Friends of Point Pelee
