At 1pm today, an adult male Black-throated Blue Warbler was seen hanging around
the feeders 20m east of the lighthouse parking lot. It was in the brush on both
sides of the path, and responsive to calls. It was in the company of the
regular feeder birds and a small group of 1st year
A slight correction to my prior post for the sighting at Presqu'ile Park:
The Black-throated Blue Warbler was viewed at 11:30am according to our time
change-adjusted photo records, not the 1pm reported earlier.
Sorry for the misinformation.
