Hello birders, In preparaion for the upcoming Quest trip to birding hotspots in southwestern Ontario, Bill Gilmour and myself scouted several areas between and including Long Point and Rondeau Provincial Parks today. Here are some highlights:
-1 SANDHILL CRANE flying over the Old Cut Field Station by Long Point -1 LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH singing repeatedly in the Wetland Trail of Backus Woods -1 male WILSON'S PHALAROPE at Blenheim Lagoons amidst c. 30 DUNLIN, c. 12 LESSER YELLOWLEGS and 4 PECTORAL SANDPIPERS Rondeau was quiet; likely on account of the cool, windy weather. Pelee scouting begins tomorrow. Good birding, Ian Shanahan Tour Leader-Point Pelee Quest Nature Tours _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
