Good morning, The morning started off dismal (and snowy!) but things have improved somewhat. There are not huge numbers of birds in the park, but a number of interesting things have been seen.
Yellow-throated Warbler has been seen again at the Anne McArthur bench on South Point Trail. A Prairie Warbler has been seen and heard by a few people near the intersection of Harrison and Tulip Tree Trail, but is proving elusive. The White-winged Dove has been seen again this morning at 17254 Lakeshore. Prothonotary Warblers are still present on Tulip Tree Trail, and one has also been seen at the maintenance area. Thank you to everyone who contributed sightings and please continue to do so to me through email, or to the Visitor Centre in person or at (519) 674-1768. 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 bird hikes in the park twice daily - contact the visitor centre for more information.
