Did you see a Kirtlands Warbler this past spring at Point Pelee? The Ontario Bird Records Committee, and also myself for the Point Pelee archives, would like to ensure that we have recorded the correct information for the numerous Kirtlands Warblers that were reported this past spring.
Below is what I have been able to compile, along with a few questions. If you can check your notes and provide any corrections / updates to this compilation, please e-mail me privately. MAY 6 --- one male, Post Woods to Tildens Woods (Martha L. Miller, Jack H. Alvo, Frances N. Alvo et al.) no additional info needed MAY 8 --- one male, West Beach (R. Heide et al.) not sure if R. Heide was the actual finder; also need full name MAY 10 --- one female, White Pine Picnic Area (Lloyd Paul) was this a single-observer sighting? MAY 11 --- one, Concession Road E (A. Quenneville et al.) need plumage info need full name(s) for observers MAY 13 --- one female, Pioneer Beach (Ross Beatson, Andrea Beatson, Wendy Hunter et al.) no additional info needed. MAY 19 --- one, Pioneer Picnic Area (John Beaumont, Bev Beaumont) need plumage info. MAY 23 --- one (singing) male, Sanctuary Picnic Area (observers unknown) need observer names; sighting reported to park staff, but no details were recorded. Several of the above reports have yet to be documented, in which case the OBRC would certainly appreciate any documentation that might be available (including photographs). Without documentation we can only assume that these birds have been correctly identified. Please send available documentation to Mark Cranford, OBRC Secretary: [email protected] Many thanks for your input.
