Monday May 23 10:00 a.m., Corinne and I had long looks (long enough
for me to dash back to the car for the 'scope) at a Least Bittern. The
bird was in the long grasses west of the viewing point described
below.
Directions:
>From Hwy 401 east side of Oshawa, take Exit 419 (Farewell St.) south
to Colonel Sam Drive. Turn left - take it nearly to its end. Turn
right into the General Motors parking lot just before the GM Canada
Head Office building. The trails start at northwest end of the lot.
Go down the path towards the marsh to the 'T', turn left (right is to
the viewing platform) and follow path south (0.75 km?) through Cool
Hollow, bear right and head for to the lake; bear right again (west)
on the path just north of the beach and in a very short distance there
is a small promontary with tall willows that juts into the south end
of the marsh (very obvious lookout point for the whole south end of
the marsh)

Point Pelee Report for May 23 (Monday)
This morning has been overcast but no rain.
Whimbrel (12) flew over the Tip this morning.
Flycatchers were singing today. Alder, Willow, Least, Great Crested,
Eastern Wood-Pewee, and Eastern Kingbird were seen and heard on the west
side and along the road to the tip.
A singing Yellow-throated Vireo was near the 1/2 way tram stop. White-eyed
Vireos were still being seen in Loop Woods. There are reports of many
Philadelphia, Warbling, and Red-eyed Vireos in the south portion of the
park.
Many warbler species have been seen along the road to the Tip. Warblers
seen include Mourning, Orange -crowned, Cerulean, Canada, Tennessee,
Wilson's, Bay-breasted, Blackburnian, and Blackpoll.
Mourning Warblers can easily be heard early in the morning along the main
park road.
Yesterday at Hillman before the rain there was a Little Gull and Wilson's
Phalaropes.
At NW Hillman Marsh (bridge along the east-west road on the north side)
there were two Common Moorhen.
Good Birding,
Friends of Point Pelee
John Haselmayer, Karl Konze, Ross Mackintosh, Dave Martin, Pete Read and
Alan Wormington
