Rondeau Festival of Flight May 1st Morning Report I would like to welcome you to the beginning of the Festival of Flight in Rondeau Provincial Park. Daily morning and afternoon reports will be provided along with active ebird checklists throughout Spring migration and the festival.
A fury of activity to begin the Festival of Flight here in Rondeau Provincial Park. Hundreds of Warblers, Sparrows, and Blackbirds were seen early this morning streaming along the East shore of Marsh Trail, and Water St. Black-throated Green, American Redstart, Northern Parula, and a Magnolia were seen with a total of 10 Warbler species. A Red-headed Woodpecker was also seen along Marsh Trail. The birds are continuing north and are actively moving through at a fast pace with little easing up. The high-water level, as well as the past few showers of rain, have made quite a few of our trails very wet and flooded requiring rain boots to comfortably complete, in particular South Point, Marsh, and Tulip Tree Trails. Join us from May 1st until the 19th for the Festival of Flight. Guided hikes available.
