Good evening Ontbirders, Rondeau's favourite bird, the Yellow-throated Warbler, has been on the move. Here is it's travel itinerary for today: #17372 Lakeshore Road (time unspecified), #17284 (8:00 am) , the Visitor Centre feeders (8:10 am), #17288 (10:45 am and 12:30 pm), #17222 (2:05 pm) and #17264 (3:47 pm). All addresses are on Lakeshore Road. The first site , #17372, is the sixth cottage north of the Visitor Centre, just a five minute walk from the VC. All of the other cottages are located some distance to the south of the Visitor Centre,
The birding hotspot this afternoon was the sloughs along Bennett Road. From a single convenient bench, you could view 3 Northern Parulas and 4 Black-and-white Warblers,as well as American Redstart, Chestnut-sided Warbler, Black-throated Green Warbler, Black-throated Blue Warbler and a pair of Black-capped Chickadees excavating a nest cavity in a short stump projecting just two feet out of the water. Other birds of interest were 2 Lincoln's Sparrows on the Maintenance Loop, our first Gray-cheeked Thrush on Harrison Trail and a Rusty Blackbird in full "song" on Spicebush Trail.
