Hello Ontbirders.
A Prothonotary Warbler was seen once again entering the nest boxes on Tulip Tree Trail at about 4:00 pm today. This brings our warbler tally to 26 species. ---------------------------------------------------------------- I will lead a guided hike twice daily from Saturday May 2 to Monday May 18, inclusive (fee $5), as follows: Monday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday at 7:30 am and 1:00 pm; Tuesday and Thursday at 7:30 am and 7:00 pm; Friday at 7:30 am. All of the 7:30 am and 1:00 pm hikes listed above will meet at the Visitor Centre. The 7:00 pm hikes will meet at the entrance to the Marsh Trail. A second hike on Friday at 1:00 pm will meet at the Blenheim Sewage Lagoons. The Friends of Rondeau will provide a Birders' Breakfast for a small donation (coffee, tea, bagels, soups and treats) daily from 7:00 am to 2:00 pm at the Visitor Centre. More information on the park's nature programs and the Friends of Rondeau is available at the Friends' website: www.rondeauprovincialpark.ca. DIRECTIONS: Take exit 101 from Highway 401 and drive South 16 km on Chatham Kent Road 15. Turn right and follow the signs to the park. The Bird Sightings Book, Bird Sightings Board and other relevant information are located at the Visitor Centre (open 7:00 am to 5:00 pm from May 2 – 18). Please note that Rondeau Road is presently closed (to protect snake populations) between Bennett Rd. and the Visitor Centre. To reach the Visitor Centre from the park Gate, turn left (west) on Rondeau Ave., then right at the traffic circle onto Lakeshore Rd. and go 6 km South to Gardiner Ave., then turn into the parking lot.
