I apologise for a rather imprecise location, but it was getting dark under
lowering skies with occasional rain, I wasn't about to stop. Last evening while
driving south on Buckhorn Road, just south of the town of Buckhorn, a sandhill
crane flew at low altitude from west to east over the road. A
Good morning birders,
There are plenty of birds around the park again on this chilly morning.
There was no significant movement of birds to or from the area last night,
so most of yesterday's rarities are likely still around.
The most productive trail again seems to be Spicebush, where there were

on I'd in the wind. Sent from. Field, sorry for poor directions.

Greetings Birders,
The wind was out of the NW overnight but there was a fair amount of

warblers.
So far, we've tallied 24 species of warblers. The Tip had a good
concentration of activity, with GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER, BLUE-WINGED

Greetings all,
Tomorrow is the OFO Presqu'ile/Peter's Woods trip that I will be
leading, so I just wanted to mention a few things to help anyone

Hello birders,
It's been a good day at Rondeau with plenty of interesting birds around to
greet our weekend visitors.
A Worm-eating Warbler was seen on Spicebush Trail, between boardwalk C and
D. Other species on Spicebush include a Cerulean Warbler near the entrance
from the road. This seems to
I am watching the yellow-breasted chat reported earlier today at Rondeau.
It is along the fenceline on the east side of the maintenance area. From
the park entrance go south to rondeau ave, turn left and take the second
right. The bird is in the shrubs on either side of the fence.

Hi Birders,
Just giving you an update on what's happening on Pelee Island. Activity has
been excellent, with over 160 species, including at least 31 species of warbler
(plus a hybrid) in the last 24 hours. Some of the highlights are below:
Blue Grosbeak - Paul Carter found a first-alternate mal
Thanks to Jacob Bruxer, Hans and Madeline VanDerZweep and myself saw a glossy
ibis at the the Kraft Lagoons near Williamstown. The bird displayed blue color
around the beak and a dark eye and appeared to be an adult bird. The lagoons
can be accessed off Kraft Rd. From 401, take Cty Rd 27 (Summ
Great sighting. Just had a look myself at 6.00pm but no sign of ibis. Water
level very high at moment so no exposed mud except a little at edges of berm
where you saw it.
But I did see 4 nice wood duck drakes.

At about 6:00 this evening, we identified what we believe to be a Kentucky
warbler in Tilden Woods at Point Pelee, about 20 yards west of the old asphalt
road. It was staying low but popped up for a clear view for about a minute.
Hope someone can confirm this report in the coming days.

Hello folks,
Well, we were a jovial band of 29 birders today for the annual spring outing to
the Islands. Weather conditions were cool with an afternoon high around 12
degrees. Winds overnight switched to a more northerly direction and so we were
left a bit disappointed with overall numbers of b
Looking at Friday nights Nexad radar it showed no south to north movement last
night. Just west to east rain. So not surprisingly there were no real new
arrivals. All Warblers seen on Friday were seen again, except the Blue Winged
and Orange Crowned. Glenn Coady noted 3 Pine Siskin in one of th
