While things started off slow first thing this morning it has really picked up through the course of the morning.
Both YELLOW-BILLED and BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO were reported from the Tip. A CANADA WARBLER was near the Black-billed Cuckoo. The interior of the Park was very busy with at least 25 species of warbler being seen. Highlights include: KENTUCKY WARBLER at the south end of Northwest Beach; KIRTLAND'S WARBLER at the north-east corner of the DeLaurier trail; and a female CERULEAN WARBLER near the bench on the north side of the Chinquapin trail near the seasonal trail; and a latish LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH in the first slough on the Shuster trail. A YELLOW-THROATED VIREO is being seen along the seasonal trail just north of the tram stop associating with a YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER.
