It's been a good day at Rondeau although the hot weather has slowed things down a bit.
The Prothonotary Warblers are both still present just north of the east parking lot for South Point Trail. Turn right on Harrison Trail and then immediately left on the small unmarked trail. Continue past the clearing to the first big pond. Other species present nearby include both species of cuckoo and Canada and Mourning Warbler. One Whimbrel has been seen on the beach at beach access #11. 2 Acadian Flycatchers are present on Spicebush Trail. This will be the last of these regular reports for the month.
