Hello Ontbirders, We had a great turnout (22 participants) for today's OFO Field Trip to the Long Point Birding Area. The cool windy morning kept most of the mosquitoes at bay but also made the birding a little challenging. Despite this we did manage to hear and see most of our target birds and record 70 species in total.
Highlights for the day included: 2 rather late Common Loons flying over the Bird Studies Canada office, brief glimpses of Louisiana Waterthrush, and superb views of Prothonotary Warbler and Cerulean Warbler. Thanks to all those who made the long drive down to Long Point this morning and to all the participants for making today an enjoyable day of birding. Detailed species lists are below.
