The Black Vulture that was hanging around yesterday was seen once again early this morning. The bird was seen this time soaring over Rondeau rd. which is the main road down the center of the park. The Prothonotary was once again seen in the same location as yesterday, the first viewing bench on Bennet rd. There was also a Cerulean Warbler singing and giving great views on South Point trail. Also seen offthe South Point trail was a Little Gull feeding in a giant frenzy of the other regular gull species.
Good Birding, Ross Wood Directions: from Hi-way 401 take exit 101 (approx. 40 minutes west of London) follow signs south to park. Once in the park to get the the visitor center follow Rondeau rd. straight back until it ends(approx. 8km) then turn left on Gardiner, follow for 1.5km until you reach the VC on the right. Bennet rd. is about 2km straight in from the park gate on the left hand side (only road that runs east-west once into the woods). The road is gated off to vehicle traffic but is open to birders, with benches set up for comforttable viewing of all migrants. Parking is available at the Spicebush trail entrance. The South Point Trail is located at the south east corner of the park and the Cerulean was located about 2km down the trail. ---------------------------------------- Upgrade your account today for increased storage; mail forwarding or POP enabled e-mail with automatic virus scanning.
