Hello Birders! Well, it's that time of year....this will be the last regular migration update from the park this spring. I will post any unusual or rare sigthings that I hear of in the coming weeks.
There were a few birders out this morning and here are the highlights of what they reported. At the Tip, Wilson's Warbler and Yellow-billed Cuckoos were seen. Two Dickcissels flew of the point this morning, not returning. The West Beach Footpath was again productive with a Mourning Warbler and Yellow-breasted Chat reported near the half-way point. I heard a Yellow-breasted Chat at the entrance to DeLaurier late this morning. Least and American Bittern were both found at the Marsh Boardwalk in the early morning hours. The American Bittern was both seen and heard, while the Least Bittern was just heard. Late yesterday afternoon, birders were surprised by a singing Yellow-throated Warbler, just 200 m north of White Pine picnic area. Yellow-bellied Flycatcher was found along the Woodland Nature Trail near Post 17 and 2 Golden-winged Warblers were found along the DeLaurier Trail. Thanks to everyone who took the time to report their sightings this spring - you have been a great help in compiling these updates! Good Birding Everyone!
