Hello Ontbirders, We had a great turnout (30 participants) for today's OFO Field Trip to the Long Point Birding Area. The cool morning kept the mosquitoes at bay but also made the birding a little challenging. Despite this we did manage to hear and see most of our target birds and record 67 species in total.
Highlights for the day included: two very obliging Least Bitterns, Louisiana Waterthrush, Prothonotary Warbler, Acadian Flycatcher (heard only), great views of Blue-winged Warbler and killer scope views of Grasshopper Sparrow. Thanks to all those who made the long drive down to Long Point this morning and to all the participants for making today an enjoyable day of birding. Detailed species lists are below.
