Rondeau Daily Report May19/04 Another quiet day, at least people-wise, but still a selection of migrant warblers going through - Blackburnian, Black-throated Green, Magnolia, Tennessee, Blue-winged, Blackpoll, Cape May, Bay-breasted, Canada, Wilson, Black&White, Chestnut-sided, Northern Waterthrush - most along South Pt. Trail or the maintenance building area. Yellow-rumped, Nashville, and Palm have not been sighted for 3+ days and must all be gone. I was going to say the same for the Blue-headed Vireo but someone saw one today.
Woodcock are still displaying around the visitor centre at dusk and Whip-poor- Will can be heard at various locations. The Chuck-will's Widow was not heard again last evening. Along the South Beach last night only one lonely Ruddy Turnstone was located and two Black-crowned Night-Herons from the Erieau Harbour flew over to the park. The Friends of Rondeau are sponsoring two guided hikes daily until May 23rd.
