It was pretty much the same birds present again today in the Point Traverse
Woods at Prince Edward Point that were present yesterday, as none are going
anywhere until the weather improves. The species mentioned yesterday along
with TENNESSEE WARBLER and about 12 other warbler species could be found in
a sheltered pocket almost directly in from the parking area at the Point
Traverse corner. I am almost certain they recognize me now. The Point
Traverse Woods is just 1/2 km prior to the Bird Observatory and features a
network of groomed trails, benches, and lots of water. The HARLEQUIN DUCKS
have not been seen for several days.
The Birding Festival continues through the Victoria Day weekend. Details at
www.peptbo.ca . Bird-friendly shade-grown coffee available in the
Hospitality Tent. Guided bird walks every morning at 8:00 a.m. beginning
just west of the Point Traverse corner.
DIRECTIONS: On Main Street, at the far east end of Picton, turn down the big
hill (Bridge Street) and turn immediately right at the bottom of the hill
onto Union Street (across from harbour). Follow Union Street out of Picton
(becomes County Road 8) for 2.5 km, and at the junction in the highway,
follow County Road 17. Take County Road 17 for 6.5 km and look for the Black
River Cheese sign, and turn left onto County Road 16 and follow for 1 km to
the Stop sign at County Road 13. Follow County Road 13 past Black River
Cheese for 23.6 km to the Prince Edward Point National Wildlife Area. Total
Driving Distance from Picton: 33.6 km
