Finally a sunny morning here at Rondeau, there seems to have
been some movement over night but no large numbers of birds
reported so far.
Early this morning there was a male Summer Tanager spotted
on the South Point Trail near the tip. Also seen on South
Point were Orchard Oriole, Pileated Woodpecker, Cape May
Warbler, Mourning Warbler, Tufted Titmouse and a few
Red-headed Woodpeckers.
Prothonotary Warbler along with the usual mix of spring
Warblers were seen fro the Tulip Tree Trail.
So far this morning there has been a constant push of Blue
Jays coming in off of the lake.
Later yesterday afternoon there was a female Blue Grosbeak
seen just south of the Park Store.
Good Birding,
Ross Wood
Directions: from Hi-way 401 take exit 101 (approx. 50
minutes west of London) follow signs south to park.
Once in the park to get the the visitor center follow
Rondeau rd. straight back until it ends(approx. 8km) then
turn left on Gardiner, follow for 1.5km until you reach the
VC on the right.

This morning has been clear with Sunshine and 15 - 25 km per hour West
winds.
Gull species yesterday evening at the Tip included Iceland, Laughing, and
Lesser Black-backed. Also last evening a Wilson's Phalarope was found off
of Road D and a Least Bittern was near the bridge on the North side of
Hillman Marsh.
This morning at the Tip the Laughing Gull was still present. In the Tip
Area birders were able to watch a very cooperative Blue-winged Warbler.
Other species seen were a female Scarlet Tanager and a Clay-coloured
Sparrow.
Sightings from the Loop Woods included a Brown Thrasher and several
Warblers, including Tennessee, Bay-breasted, Blue-winged, and Hooded.
The highlight from Tilden Woods was a singing Kentucky Warbler that was
showing very well for many birders. Brewster's and Blackburnian Warblers
were also seen. A Wood Thrush was in full view in the first slough.
A Canada Warbler was just behind the Visitor Centre on the Botham Tree
Trail.
There has been little news from North in the Park but a Northern
Waterthrush and a Tennessee Warbler were seen at DeLaurier.
Good Birding
