Birders,
This afternoon there was a Yellow-breasted Chat just south of Browns Pt.
Other noteworthy sightings: Orange-crowned Warbler,Yellows,Scarlet Tanager,
Am. Bittern, Red-headed Woodpecker and Yellow throated Vireo. Lighthouse Pt.
had a pair of Short-billed Dowitchers, and 4 Spotted Sandpipers. I remember
reading an article once saying that Broad-winged Hawks do not travel over
water.??
Well.. a good count of 6 birds was seen at Mill point along with a single
Osprey,Red shouldered Hawk and a Merlin. Migration seemed to pick up by late
afternoon with Warblers and Vireos spread throughout the island instead of
the "pocket" here "pocket" there as per the last couple of days.
The ferry may be caught in Leamington at the foot of Erie St.(77HWY)
Pelee Transportation: 1-800-661-2220
The cost is $7.50 one way for a walk on.. All vehicles must be booked in
advance.
Good Birding,
Dean Ware
Pelee Island
