Hi folks: Well this morning there was a BIG change in migrants here in my yard in Wheatley (north end of the Pelee peninsula), mostly due to a series of strong thunderstorms and warm overnight temps. Most notable was that most of the birds were SINGING!
Yesterday there were maybe a few yellow-rumps. Today, a half hour tour of the property turned up 52 species! Notable were... 9 species of warblers including: MAGNOLIA WARBLER (male) BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER (male) NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH (male) NASHVILLE WARBLER (6) BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER (3) BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER (6) plus... WARBLING VIREO (2) BLUE-HEADED VIREO (3) BALTIMORE ORIOLE (2) ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK (3) INDIGO BUNTING (male) LEAST FLYCATCHER (1) GRAY CATBIRD (1) WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW (20) LINCOLNS SPARROW (4) BOBOLINK (flyover) GREEN HERON Its a great day to be a birder!
