Hi all,
Early this morning, I caught sight of a Black-throated Gray Warbler on south
point trail in Rondeau Park. It was likely a basic adult male due to
extensive black on throat. I only had a short glimpse (beside the trail)
before it disappeared further back, and was not able to get a photo. I saw
it go into a Pine tree, but I could not relocate it due to foliage, etc.
At the time, I was studying a Prothonotary Warbler, which is possibly a
record late for Rondeau. (I did get a photo of it!)
There were many warblers this morning including large numbers of
Orange-crowned (I spotted at least 10), Nashville Warbler, and quite a few
Tennessee. Several Blue-headed and Red-eyed Vireos and 1 Warbling as well.
It was almost like May with the number of birds! I suspected there would be
a good number of birds after yesterday's weather.
Location of Black-throated Gray was on south point trail (end of Lakeshore
Rd.) about 350m from parking lot, or a little ways past the side trail that
heads out to the light beacon and beach.
Rondeau Provincial Park is found by exiting 401 at #101 (Kent Bridge Rd.)
and travelling south to Rose Beach Line. Turn right and head towards the
park. Watch for prominent highway signs.
