Festival of Flight; There were few birders in the park May 4th because of the wet weather.
1. The Yellow-breasted Chat continues to be found at the first bench on South Point Trail. The Chat can often be heard along this section of trail singing quietly to itself. With patience it will often give glimpses and if you are real lucky a full on view. 2. The White-eyed Vireos continue to be seen on South Point Trail. 3. The White-winged Dove continues at 17168 Lakeshore Rd. 4. Prothonotary hasn't settled in yet but is occasionally sighted on Tulip Trail While at Rondeau stop by the Visitors Centre for close up views of such species as Red-bellied Woodpeckers, Orioles, Rose-breasted Grosbeaks and Tufted Titmouse. Carolina Wrens can be heard tea kettling through out the park. The number of Red-headed Woodpeckers has diminished but there are several sightings a day.
