Report for May 16, 2003 (Friday): Cool temperatures, east winds, and rain have effectively blocked the arrival of new migrants to Rondeau. Sooner or later, however, the winds will change to the south, which should create a fresh flood of new migrants watch the weather reports!
Reported so far today are the following: BLUE GROSBEAK -- The female bird is again present on South Point Trail take Lakeshore Road south to where it ends, walk about 1 km south until you reach a bench on the beach the bird habitually feeds in the tall dune grasses. PROTHONOTARY WARBLER one was seen today where Bennett Road meets Rondeau Road (opposite Spicebush Trail). This is probably the same bird present in the general area yesterday. Today the bird was harassing an Eastern Screech-Owl, until the owl finally went inside its hole.
