Good afternoon,

The Long Point Bird Observatory sightings board is updated to May 24 
https://birdscanada.org/longpoint/index.jsp?targetpg=lpbosight. Highlights for 
this last week include Arctic Tern, Cattle Egret, LPBO’s strongest candidate 
for Bicknell’s Thrush to date, Nelson’s Sparrow, Summer Tanager, and Eurasian 
Tree Sparrow (3-4).

LPBO staff, volunteers, and friends are completing a Long Point only Great 
Canadian Birdathon this weekend - show your support for LPBO by sponsoring any 
of the Cygnus Crusaders  -

Visitors should be aware that the New Long Point Provincial Park is closed due 
to flooding, but there are many other places to bird at Long Point. Explore the 
Long Point Birding Trail. Your best source for information about the birds and 
birding sites around Long Point can be found in A Birding Guide to the Long 
Point Area by Ron Ridout, available at the LPBO Shoppe and BSC headquarters. 
Follow LPBO . @LongPointBirdOb on Twitter, @LPBObs on Facebook, or 
@longpointbirds on Instagram.

Visitors are always welcome. Daily birding hikes depart the Old Cut Research 
Station one hour after sunrise, and banding demonstrations occur all morning 
until May 30. LPBO's Old Cut Research Station and Visitor Centre is open to the 
public during spring and fall migration (from April to mid-June, and early 
August to mid-November) from 9 a.m. until Noon.

LPBO Bird Alert - Contact me off-list if you'd like to join the Long Point Bird 
Alert Group (requires a mobile phone and WhatsApp) which is the front-line 
communication tool for birds of interest in the Long Point area. Birds of 
provincial significance will also be posted to Ontbirds.
 
Good Birding,
