Hi all,
My colleague, Herman VanBarneveld, saw a Northern Bobwhite Quail on his
property this morning. He took a picture showing the white head. The quail
was calling back and forth with another one. The location is 885 Aikens
Road.

Today is milder, clear and calm. Birding is good.
The MISSISSIPPI KITE is still in the park this morning! Sightings have
been between DeLaurier and the Visitor Centre.
In the Tip area ( NW end of tram loop) a Nelson's Sharp-tailed Sparrow was
seen by many. Warblers seen in the Tip area included Canada and Hooded.
Groups in Tilden's Woods observed singing Wood Thrush. Warblers seen
included Blackburnian, Black-throated Blue, Black-throated Green, Northern
Parula, Ovenbird, and Bay-breasted. Golden-winged Warbler has been
reported on Shuster Trail in the slough area. Scarlet Tanagers,
Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, and Indigo Buntings continue to be seen.
An Alder Flycatcher was seen and sang intermittently at DeLaurier. Good
numbers of birds continue to be seen in the north half of the park.
Willet were present this morning at Hillman Marsh.
Good Birding

Some additions to my report from yesterday.
More warblers were found in MacGregor Park by a couple of other birders and
they just informed me this morning.
The following were found on the Huron Fringe Trail around the Visitor
Centre.
Magnolia and Blackpoll Warblers.
Along the Tower Trail, Wilson's Warbler and an Orange-crowned at the base of
the tower at the DU Pond.
Other birds along the trail were Scarlet Tanager, House Wren and Lincoln's

Yours in birding
