There were 7 American White Pelicans visible from the hawk tower at Holiday Beach C.A. today. Hundreds of Great Egrets and Great Blue Herons were also present. Water levels in the Big Creek marsh are low and the open muddy spots are attracting a few shorebirds. Migrant swallows, flycatchers and warblers were abundant today and we recorded 80 species by lunch time. Highlights included Black-billed and Yellow-billed Cuckoo, 13 species of warbler including a Connecticut Warbler (being banded), 3 Olive-sided Flycatchers, 4 Great-crested Flycatchers, and good numbers of Red-breasted Nuthatches and Blue-grey Gnatcatchers. Holiday Beach C.A. is located on the shore of Lake Erie off County Road 50 in Amherstburg.
