Good morning, There seems to have been almost complete turnover in the migrants present in Rondeau today since yesterday. South Point and Tulip Tree Trail have been reasonably productive, while the Pony Barn and Maintenance areas are very slow. We haven't received any reports from other areas as of yet.
On South Point Trail this morning, several interesting species were noted including Prothonotary, Hooded, Mourning, Canada and Blue-winged. Unfortunately most of the warblers here are high up and far back in the woods, but good numbers are present. A Sedge Wren was found 300 metres past the parking lot. Prothonotary Warblers continue to be seen very reliably at the back of Tulip Tree Trail. 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.
