[Ontbirds] Western Tanager in Rondeau

[lev . frid]

Hey folks,

 Kyle Holloway is currently at Rondeau and would like me to forward the 
following: 

Hi all, just found and photographed a male Western Tanager at the start of 
South Point Trail. The bird was on both sides of the large puddle at the 
beginning of the trail. 

This was about an hour ago and I wasn't able to post until now. He mentioned 
that a few people managed to get the bird already as well. 

Sweet Bird!

[Ontbirds]Western Tanager at Rondeau

[Slavik, Emily (MNR)]

Good morning,

 

A male first-year Western Tanager was seen at 7:15 this morning on the
South Point Trail (just before the washout - Lakeshore Rd. side), by
Blake Mann and Steve Charbonneau.  There was a female Hooded Warbler in
the same location.

 

The Harris's Sparrow is still frequenting the feeders at the Visitor
Centre.  An Orchard Oriole and a Ruby-throated Hummingbird  showed up
there late yesterday.   Other feeder birds included Clay-coloured, Field
and Lincoln's Sparrow, Red-headed Woodpecker, Red-bellied Woodpecker,
Rose-breasted Grosbeak, many others.  

 

The Prothonotary was still visiting the Log Pond at the Pony Barn
yesterday afternoon.

 

Good Birding,

Carolyn King for Steve LaForest.
