Hi everyone,
For those considering a birding trip to Long Point, there is an adult male Yellow-headed Blackbird frequenting Port Rowan since. He was first notived on Sunday, but has been especially cooperative today. He has frequently observed at feeders (mostly empty :| ) along Price St., but has wandered elsewhere in town. He's calling regularly which is the easiest way to find him. Otherwise migration has generally been slow at Long Point, but there are always some goodies around - White-eyed Vireos have been frequenting Old Cut with some regularity - never easy to find; four Marbled Godwit were observed at Lee Browns WMA last Sunday; and 2 American Avocet flew past the Tip earlier this morning. More to come in the sightings board update at the end of the week - https://www.birdscanada.org/longpoint/index.jsp?targetpg=lpbosight Contact me off-list if you'd like to be a part of the LPBO Bird Alert Group (requires a mobile phone and WhatsApp) which is the front-line for birds of interest in the Long Point area, but birds of provincial significance will also be posted to Ontbirds when appropriate. Directions: To get to Long Point, follow the birds, or head south on Hwy 59 from the 401 until you hit the lake. You can find all of the locations mentioned within the Long Point Birding Trail<http://www.birdscanada.org/longpoint/index.jsp?targetpg=lpbt <http://www.birdscanada.org/longpoint/index.jsp?targetpg=lpbt&lang=EN> &lang=EN>.
