Hi Birders,
Pelee Island has been pretty active, similar to other sand-spits along Lake
Erie. Today Alvan Buckley and I noted a good push of migrants, with at least 26
species of warblers. In total around 130 species were seen throughout the
island.
Highlights are listed below:
Dickcissel - 1 reverse migrant off Fish Point this AM around 7am
Prairie Warbler - 1 male at Lighthouse Point
Prothonotary Warbler - territorial male at Fish Point
Cerulean Warbler - 1 male at Middle Point
Golden-winged Warbler - 1 male at Fish Point
Hooded Warbler - 1 male at Middle Point
A moderate reverse migration took place off Fish Point this AM, with the
notables being ~260 Baltimore Orioles and 45 American Pipits taking part (along
with the Dickcissel).
The Blue Grosbeak was seen yesterday morning, however we didn't look for it
today (it may still be in the area).
Please email me for specific directions.
Good Birding,
Ken Burrell (and Alvan Buckley)
