Hi birders, Despite the wacky weather with bouts of rain, sun and even hail moving through quickly, birders have been out finding birds around Rondeau.
The northeast corner of the park continues to be the hotspot, with plenty of birds around the maintenance loop, in the woods east of the maintenance compound, and around beach access points #1 and #2. A Blue-winged Warbler continues at the beach access #1, as well as both Baltimore and Orchard Orioles and a female Scarlet Tanager. A total of 10 warbler species have been reported today. Thank you to everyone who contributed sightings and please continue to do so at the Visitor Centre. eBird users submitting checklists from the park are encouraged to share them with the username "RondeauPPVisitorCentre" for our records. More information on the park's nature programs and the Friends of Rondeau is available at the Friends' website: www.rondeauprovincialpark.ca. Directions: Take exit 101 from Highway 401 and drive South 16 km on Chatham Kent Road 15. Turn right and follow the signs to the park. The Bird Sightings Book, Bird Sightings Board, Bird Checklists and other relevant information are to be found at the Visitor Centre. To reach the Visitor Centre from the park Gate, travel 6 km South on Rondeau Road to Gardiner Ave., then follow it around the bend to the parking lot. I lead guided hikes in the park twice daily - contact the visitor centre for more infomation.
