Hello Birders! What a difference a day makes! The warm and balmy weather of early this week was definitely not present at Point Pelee National Park this morning....but there were still birds about!
The Tip continued to offer a nice assortment of warblers including Prothonotary, Blackpoll, Cerulean, Chestnut-sided and Prairie. Pine siskin were also present this morning. Tilden's Woods was very sheltered this afternoon - five species of thrush were noted, as well as a Solitary Sandpiper and Northern Waterthrush. While leading a group of school children, we managed to find a Kentucky Warbler this afternoon along this trail as well. Yellow-throated Vireo and Solitary Sandpiper were found along the Woodland Nature Trail this afternoon. The Prothonotary Warbler noted south of the park entrance along the marsh edge of the road was present again this afternoon, approx 300 m south of the gate. Hillman Marsh Shorebird habitat continues to provide great shorebird viewing opportunities. 4 Marbled Godwite and 1 Whimbrel were found this afternoon. Good birding everyone!
