Hi Birders
Eighteen Birders enjoyed the gorgeous Spring day at Point Pelee yesterday,
tallying 48 species of birds. A high of 19C was noted at 2pm.
Highlights include incredible looks at Piping Plover(!) at the tip, Louisiana
Waterthrush and Rusty Blackbirds on the Woodland Nature Trail, singing male
Pine Warbler at the Sparrow Fields and fleeting glimpses of the Henslows
Sparrow at the Serengeti Tree.
The sun and warmth brought out lots of butterflies with 5 species seen in
total. Green Darners were noted a couple of times during the day as well.
My heartfelt thanks to all who came out and made the day really great.
A special shout out of thanks to Mike Tate who alerted the mailing list about
the Plover and who stayed at the scene until we arrived. It was a life bird
for some of the participants and a really special sighting.
Good birding,
Ellen Smout
