HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY
Early morning has been overcast with an occasional rain drop. Winds are
light from the east.
Just reported at 10:30 AM was a Pacific Loon off the end of Shuster Trail.
A second summer Lesser Black-backed Gull was at the Tip this morning.
Amongst the almost 20 species of warblers seen from the Tip to the Half Way
Stop was Hooded, Blue-winged, and Mourning. A Willow Flycatcher and a Marsh
Wren were also seen in the Tip area. Neither the Grasshopper or Henslow's
Sparrow of yesterday has been reported again as yet.
A pair of Cerulean Warblers were seen near #12 on the Woodland Nature Trail.
A Worm-eating Warbler and an Acadian Flycatcher were also reported from
the WNT. A Hooded Warbler was reported from the Redbud Footpath.
Along the Shuster Trail birders observed a singing Mourning, a Prothonotary,
and a Yellow-breasted Chat. A Sedge Wren added to viewing pleasure.
The Eastern Screech-Owls continue to thrill first time viewers in Tilden
Woods. Warblers seen in Tilden included Blackburnian, Black-throated Green,
Blue-winged, Bay-breasted, and Black-and-white.
Further north at Sanctuary was a report of a Connecticut Warbler. The
Summer Tanager was seen again today near the southern end of Sanctuary.
Reports have been received of a Least Tern at the St. Clair National
Wildlife Area from yesterday afternoon.
