Good afternoon birders, The Yellow-throated Warbler was seen again today around 12:30 at cottage #13732 north of the visitor centre.
A male Hooded Warbler has been showing off to numerous people all afternoon at the first boardwalk on Spicebush Trail, and several others have been seen around the park. Besides the Hooded Warbler, my guided walk this afternoon was fairly quiet, but we did have one busy slough along Bennett Rd. that held several Black-and-White, Black-throated-Green and Yellow-rumped Warblers as well as Brown Creeper and Ruby-crowned Kinglet. A Pileated Woodpecker was also nearby. Also of interest this afternoon was a Red Bat seen flying around the Pony Barn in broad daylight. Thank you to everyone who contributed sightings and please continue to do so at the Visitor Centre. More information on the park's nature programs and the Friends of Rondeau is available at the Friends' website: www.rondeauprovincialpark.ca.
