Good morning birders, It's a great morning to be out here at Rondeau.
South Point has been very busy this morning, with at least 22 species of warblers including Golden-winged and Blue-winged near the first grassy trail heading off to the left. A White-eyed Vireo was present near the Anne McArthur bench, and a Marsh Wren was an odd sight at the bend where the trail nears the lake. A Kentucky Warbler was seen along the west edge of Spicebush Trail, and a Blue-winged has been seen near the beginning of the trail. We haven't received many reports from elsewhere in the park. 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.
