Good morning, Most of the park is very quiet today but there are concentrations of activity.
South Point Trail was very productive just north of the washout on the east side, about 2 km from the east parking lot. Birds here included Cerulean (female), Prothonotary, Bay-breasted and Orange-crowned Warblers. There is very little activity until you reach this area so persevere! 3 Red-headed Woodpeckers are still being seen on Harrison Trail just north of the washout. An Osprey was seen on Marsh Trail. We haven't had any reports of the Kentucky Warbler at maintenance today. If anyone reading this knows who first discovered this bird early yesterday please contact me for our local records. Thank you to everyone who contributed sightings and please continue to do so at the Visitor Centre or to me through email. eBird users submitting checklists from the park are encouraged to share them with the username "RondeauPPVisitorCentre" for our records. More information on the park's nature programs and the Friends of Rondeau is available at the Friends' website: www.rondeauprovincialpark.ca. Directions: Take exit 101 from Highway 401 and drive South 16 km on Chatham Kent Road 15. Turn right and follow the signs to the park. Bird sighting information, bird checklists, bird feeders, and breakfast and lunch offered by the Friends can be found at the visitor centre. To reach the visitor centre from the park gate, travel 6 km South on Rondeau Road to Gardiner Ave., then follow it around the bend to the parking lot. I lead guided hikes in the park twice daily - contact the visitor centre for more information.
