Hi All It was a slower morning in the park, with rain just letting up this afternoon.
A Louisiana Waterthrush was found along the north part of the Woodland Nature Trail, along with Rusty Blackbirds. A Marsh Wren was reported here early this afternoon as well. There has been a big movement of White-throated Sparrows into the park in the last couple of days. They have been seent throughout the park, especially along the roadside during the rain. A lone, male Purple Finch, was found in the DeLaurier Parking lot this morning, feeding with a flock of Chipping and Field Sparrows. A returning Green Heron was noted in the drainage ditch along Concession E, just north of the park. On another note - Point Pelee National Park is happy to announce the program "Tweets from the Point". We are diving into the world of Twitter and will be sending out updates and highlights of spring migration throughout the month of May to www.twitter.com/PointPeleeNP .
