Good morning birders, Numbers of birds seem somewhat higher in the park today, with some new arrivals especially on South Point Trail.
The White-winged Dove is still present along Lakeshore Rd. south of the Visitor spending quite a bit of time at #17272. A Connecticut Warbler was heard on Spicebush Trail. Prothonotary Warblers are still present on Tulip Tree Trail and on Rondeau Rd. south of Bennett. Yellow-throated Vireos have been at Pony Barn, near the Visitor Centre and on South Point Trail. South Point also had Yellow-billed Cuckoo. 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.
