Good late afternoon everyone! We've been busy all day getting things ready for the start of the Festival tomorrow, thus the delay for the report. Expect reports before noon for the duration of the Festival.
It was a little bit slower today than yesterday, but there were still great birds to be found in many parts of the park. Golden-winged Warbler was reported from the Tip this morning. This afternoon, there was both Blue-winged and Golden-winged on the Woodland Nature Trail approx 50 m south of the Visitor Centre. Great Crested Flycatcher was also reported from this trail. White-eyed and Yellow-throated Vireo were both at the Tip this morning. Hooded and Blackburnian Warbler, as well as Eastern Wood Pewee were spotted in Tildens. A walk around Black Willow Beach was fruitful for visitors who found a Yellow-breasted Chat and Hooded Warbler. Late this afternoon, several Willets put on a great show at the Point A Prothonotary Warbler was noted from the Woodland Nature Trail, as were people playing a Prothonotary recording. Please remember that use of recordings is not allowed in the park and that Prothonotary Warblers have special protection as an endangered species. Playing recordings can disrupt nesting and breeding and impact birds on a hormonal level. Thank you everyone for your cooperation. . Good birding everyone!
