Good morning, It's an excellent morning to be out in Rondeau with a significant drop of migrants overnight. There don't seem to be any particular areas with massive concentrations of birds, but there seem to be lots of migrants virtually everywhere.
Prothonotary Warblers continue to be seen very reliably at post 7 on Tulip Tree Trail. There are as many as 3 singing male Hooded Warbler along Harrison Trail between Pony Barn and Bennett Rd, and 1 has also been seen on Tulip Tree Trail. Marsh Wren and Northern Mockingbird have been odd sightings immediately around the visitor centre. Not many reports yet, presumably as everyone is still out birding. Get out there! Thank you to everyone who contributed sightings and please continue to do so at the Visitor Centre or to me through email. 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. Bird sighting information, bird checklists, bird feeders, and breakfast and lunch offered by the Friends can 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 information.
