The chuck-will's-widow was heard calling again last night at 9:15pm at the Visitor's Centre. The prothonotary warblers are still putting on great shows for birders visiting the Tulip Tree Trail at post 7.
Other notable birds seen; Blackpoll warbler, Canada warbler, blackburnian warbler, willow flycatcher, Wilson's warbler and several gray-cheeked thrush and Swainson's thrush. This will be my last posting for the 2005 Rondeau Area Birding season. I will be returning to the Sault today, so I hope everyone enjoyed being kept up to date on our great birds that have been seen here. With the late season this spring has been there should be plenty of good birds to arrive during the next week. So, Great Birding in the Rondeau Birding Area. Directions; Turn south off Highway 401 at Exit 101 and follow the signs to Rondeau Provincial Park.

The facial markings leave no doubt about its identity, but it was oddly lacking the characteristic white fringe on the tail, it being dark, plain, and shallowly notched instead. Photos will be sent to the OFO website and comments regarding race and plumage would be welcomed. >From Dyer Bay, take the long, rough road north toward the lighthouse. After reaching the large clearing just south of Wingfield Basin, watch for the fork in the road to the left, leading to the cement gateposts. The bird was seen along this section of the road.
