Good evening Ontbirders. This afternoon, Rondeau birders saw a number of good birds.
Passerines included a Yellow-bellied Flycatcher seen on Harrison Trail near the Maintenance Loop. Swainson’s Thrushes were in good numbers in the park, including the Harrison Trail area. On the South Beach and offshore, water birds included 3 Horned Grebes and a first summer Iceland Gull that was late. Shorebirds present included 2 Sanderlings, and 1 Semipalmated Plover.
