The MISSISSIPPI KITE seen yesterday afternoon at the cemetery was seen again early this morning perched in the same area.
The Yellow-throated Warbler seen by several groups yesterday afternoon at Dunes has not been re-located. Today there has been a large influx of the Black-billed and Yellow-billed Cuckoos as well as Mourning Warblers. These species are being seen throughout the Park. In the Tip Area were several of both Cuckoos, Bobolink, Marsh Wren, Scarlet Tanagers, Clay-coloured Sparrow, Black Terns, and a singing Willow Flycatcher. Warblers included Canada, Tennessee, Wilson's, and singing Mourning Warblers. An Acadian Flycatcher was seen on the Redbud Trail. On the Main Road south of the Half Way Stop an Olive-sided Flycatcher was singing in full view. In Tilden's Woods, both Cuckoos and a singing Kentucky Warbler were seen. In the Sleepy Hollow to Blue Heron section, Orange-crowned, Tennessee, Northern Parula, Ovenbird, and Hooded Warblers were seen. Outside the Park, a Lesser Black-backed Gull was seen at Wheatley Harbour. The Shorebird Cell at Hillman Marsh still has a good selection of birds.
